... This year's eclipse is unique in duration. ... Although, at the present time, there are 6 solar observatories belonging to leading space agencies in orbit around the Earth, the eclipse of 22 July, 2009, will only be seen by two of them: the Russian CORONAS-PHOTON satellite equipped with TESIS telescopes and Japan's HINODE satellite fitted with an XRT space telescope. ... TESIS will be the first of the two devices (and the very first on Earth) to witness the solar eclipse. ...

Large sunspots were occasionally seen far in the past without any instruments, when the sun was dimmed by thick haze, but not much was remembered of those observations. ... Sunspot Cycle (1850 - 1975) . One who was greatly influenced by Schwabe's discovery was an English gentleman of independent means, Richard Christopher Carrington , who devoted himself to the study of sunspots. ... Carrington had seen a flare, of the rare variety that is visible in white light (only about 50 are known). ...
