imagine earlier humans seeing a Total Eclipse ? ! ?

The Sun appearing to getting slowly eaten away. The world going dark.

Now, maybe they had lore and legend that this had happened before.

But if they didn’t, they must have thought this was the end of the world!

I can only imagine what they would've thought. Especially if it's during daylight and all of the sudden it turns completely dark outside. The stars were always looked at with awe, just seeing the vastness of it. This is why I can't wait for mankind to get to the same level of Star Trek, where many people can inhabit outer space on spaceships, roam different planets, etc.

Star Trek promised friendship, art, science, adventure, etc.

You were accepted in Starfleet Academy! But a lot of people were stuck in urban bleakscale.

The corona phase of a total eclipse is scary. Maybe the Sun’s last dying breaths as it’s being devoured ? ?

What are solar eclipses and how often do they occur?

A solar eclipse is an alignment of the Sun, the Moon, and Earth. On average, 2.38 solar eclipses of one kind or another occur each year.

A key question that often comes up is “About how often is a particular spot on Earth in the path of totality?” On average for the whole Earth, the answer is 375 years.
