TOKYO – Rare natural phenomena like solar eclipses can be inspirational but also unsettling.
The ancient Chinese believed that solar eclipses occur when a legendary celestial dragon devours the Sun. The Bible also recorded an eclipse this way: " ‘And on that day,' says the Lord God, ‘I will make the Sun go down at noon, and darken the Earth in broad daylight'."
(Amos 8:9)
