Solar Eclipses in History

in #solar7 years ago

Solar eclipses have triggered fear throughout history. Human affairs have been shaped by the eeriness of a total solar eclipse. On the 21st day of August, 2017, the moon will slide between the Earth and the sun, painting a swath of darkness across North America. The Great American Solar Eclipse.

The ancient Chinese believed that solar eclipses occur when a celestial dragon devours the sun. Solar eclipses have caused fear, inspired curiosity, and have been associated with myths, legends, and superstitions throughout history. Even today, an eclipse of the Sun is considered a bad omen in many cultures.
