Debunking solar eclipse myths: Get the truth behind the scientific phenomenon that has brought fear and fascination throughout history.
Humans have observed and tracked solar eclipses for millennia. In many cases, a solar eclipse brought on fear and foretold the end of the world or was a sign of great misfortune. To explain the causes of a solar eclipse, ancient humans would seek spiritual justifications and tell folkloric tales for why they occur. From these explanations, many myths and superstitions exist. Most of these are only myths and have since been disproven.
Solar eclipses are likely seen as harbingers of disaster because they were noted at several historically significant events. In 763 B.C.E., ancient Assyrian records tell of an eclipse that happened at the same time as a revolt in the city of Ashur. Another example is the death of King Henry I of England in 1133 A.D., which happened during a solar eclipse.
Today there are still superstitions that pregnant people follow during a solar eclipse. These include not looking at the solar eclipse, staying indoors, or wearing a safety pin on the belly inIt is safe to view a solar eclipse after the disk of the moon completely covers the sun. The light seen around the dark disk, or the sun’s corona, is very faint. It does not cause blindness.
