The 3E<\/strong> exhibit is centred on 3 total solar eclipses<\/strong>, the first took place in 1914,<\/strong> the second in 1919<\/strong> and the third in 2013<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 1914 total solar eclipse, whose totality strip crossed Europe between Norway and Ukraine, mobilized the international astronomic community. From the University of Coimbra, Francisco Costa Lobo, prepared a Portuguese expedition that travelled with the intention of observing the eclipse in Crimea. The delegation was in Berlin on the 1st<\/sup> of August 1914, the day in which Germany declared war on Russia and was forced to forgo the project and return to Portugal. On the 21st<\/sup> of August, Costa Lobo ended up by only observing a partial eclipse in Coimbra.<\/p>\n

The solar eclipse of the 29th<\/sup> of May 1919, total in the island of Pr\u00edncipe (west coast of Africa) and in Sobral (Brazil), was observed and photographed by a group of astronomers led by Arthur Eddington in a joint expedition by the Royal Astronomical Society and the Royal Society. The observations of this eclipse are a relevant cornerstone for the vision of the universe we have today, since it finally allowed, for the first time, to experimentally confirm Eintein\u2019s Theory of General Relativity.<\/p>\n

In 2013, on the 3rd<\/sup> of November, a new total solar eclipse was visible on the island of Pr\u00edncipe, in a trajectory similar to the 1919 eclipse. It was a unique opportunity for Pr\u00edncipe to recover the scientific event of 1919 and connect it to modern science. The ECLIPSE 2013: History and Science in Pr\u00edncipe<\/a> project  relied on two main objectives: on one hand, to promote and diffuse Science, on the other, to reassert the scientific legacy of the island of Pr\u00edncipe in the History of sciences.<\/p>\n
