Abstract
ON March 3, I made a prediction of the coronal structure of the March 7, 1970, eclipse of the Sun. The model employed is similar to that used for the prediction of the coronal structure at the eclipse of September 22, 1968, and details of the method are described in ref. 1. Observations of this eclipse seem to support2 the model: “there is a general similarity between the two drawings” (prediction and observation)3, and a sketch of the observations “agrees well with the prediction; had Schatten drawn his streamers more nearly radial, the agreement would have been almost perfect”4.
