Abstract
Sky and Telescope of January 1944 has a short notice with the above title, which describes the photometric results of the lunar eclipse on March 2–3, 1942. These results were obtained in France by Daniel Barbier, Daniel Chalonge and Ernest Vigroux, and indicated, in accordance with the theoretical predictions by Link, a relationship between the intensity of the ozone bands and the distance from the centre of the shadow. Future spectrophotometric studies of lunar eclipses may yield new information on the earth's upper atmosphere.
