A photograph of the white-light corona from a rocket on May 9, 1967 showed many streamers, all straight and nearly radial, extending across the field of view, 3 to 9R. At the North there were three spectacular streamers, making angles with the polar axis of 21° E, 20° W and 27° N. Projected inward, they were radial and passed through the probable positions of the principal plages on the back side.
