The atmosphere is the major obstacle to observation of the solar surface from the ground, but under good conditions, and with new instruments, good results have been obtained. Internal parts of the corona can be observed with coronagraphs, and numerous aspects of the corona can be studied from space. Various solar observatories launched by NASA have carried apparatus which csn observe very short wavelengths in the ultraviolet. Procedures for studying the eclipse of June 30, 1973, are discussed. One of these involves use of the Concorde SST, which could observe the eclipse for an hour by fixing along the path of totality. (IAA)
