Observations and photographs of the total eclipse of the sun on February 26, 1979 over the northwestern United States and Manitoba, Canada are presented. The corona is described by various observers as shimmering, appearing to be shades of white and extending up to one solar diameter from the sun. Solar prominences, the diamond ring effect, observed at the beginning and end of totality, and effects on animal behavior are also described. Shadow bands before and after the eclipse were observed to move across the ground at various locations, and stars and planets were seen during totality. Airborne and sounding rocket observations and ground-based comet detection experiments were also undertaken at the time of the eclipse.
