As a result, he was invited to accompany the Canadian Government Expeditionary Force delegation on their journey to view the total solar eclipse that occurred on August 30, 1905. The delegation consisted of around 30 scientists belonging to the Canadian Astronomy Society and the Royal Observatory Greenwich. It was associated with the British Astronomical Association, which wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/totalsolareclips00britrich\/mode\/2up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an official report on the eclipse<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the delegation, Father Kavanagh was responsible for documenting, via photographs, the Expeditionary Force\u2019s route, in addition to the eclipse itself. <a href=\"https:\/\/heyzine.com\/flip-book\/34ccdb2115.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A photo album<\/a> documenting the progress and activities of the Expeditionary Force was subsequently created. It also illustrated the delegation\u2019s meetings with First Nations and Inuit communities, who contributed to their travels.
