Solar eclipse or black Sun
29.03.2006 um 13:19Link: en.wikipedia.org (external)
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun and obscures it totallyor partially. This configuration can only occur at New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are inconjunction, as seen from Earth. A total solar eclipse is considered by many to be themost spectacular natural phenomenon that one can observe.
Historical solareclipses
A solar eclipse of 15 June 763 BC mentioned in an Assyrian text isimportant for the Chronology of the Ancient Orient. This is the earliest solar eclipsementioned in historical sources that has been identified beyond reasonable doubt. Therehave been other claims to date earlier eclipses, notably that of Mursili II (likely 1312BC), in Babylonia, and also in China, but these are highly disputed and rely on muchsupposition. For a discussion, see Stephenson (1997).
Herodotus wrote thatThales of Milete predicted an eclipse which occurred during a war between the Medians andthe Lydians. Soldiers on both sides put down their weapons and declared peace as a resultof the eclipse. Exactly which eclipse was involved has remained uncertain, although theissue has been studied by hundreds of ancient and modern authorities. One likelycandidate took place on May 28, 585 BC, probably near the Halys river in the middle ofmodern Turkey.
An annular eclipse of the Sun occurred at Sardis on February 17,478 BC, while Xerxes was departing for his expedition against Greece, as Herodotus, VII,37 recorded ([Hind and Chambers, 1889: 323] considered this absolute date more than acentury ago). Herodotus (book IX, 10, book VIII, 131, and book IX, 1) reports thatanother solar eclipse was observed in Sparta during the next year, on August 1, 477 BC.The sky suddenly darkened in the middle of the sky, well after the battles of Thermopylaeand Salamis, after the departure of Mardonius to Thessaly at the beginning of the springof (477 BC) and his second attack on Athens, after the return of Cleombrotus to Sparta.Note that the modern conventional dates are different by a year or two, and that thesetwo eclipse records have been ignored so far.
At 1989 in Africa many people think that is the End of days.
And fight vs. another religion.
