Hey Friends, You know how we came to capture Solar Eclipse on the camera for the first time?? Surely not from Hindu vedas where rahu and ketu do mischievous things..:P Actually it was captured on this day way back in 1544 by Reinerus Gemma Frisius.. YEAH SERIOUSLY!! :O.. You will be wondering how and who is he?
Well he did it through camera obscura.. Obsucra is a latin word for dark and together it means dark chamber or room. Born Jemme Reinerszoon in present-day Netherlands, a well known mathematician,physician and cartographer(a person who makes maps) was orphaned early in his life. And unlike us guys he was known for his accuracy and quality in mathematical calculations ;), apart from that he was also accurate in using astrological instruments he created or improved including cross staff,astrolabe and astronomical rings. He was fascinated by the camera obscura which was precursor to the modern camera as I told you in the starting of the paragraph.
Though the image captured in the background was inverted the image quality and the color was perfectly preserved so it was a perfect way to view to a solar eclipse. He did the same thing and viewed the eclipse in the Flemish-Belgian city of Louvain. He later illustrated the method of perfect pinhole camera projecting the image of sun and the moon inside the wall of the camera.
Here is the image of the view that was captured or illustrated by Frisius
