Some television shows about inexplicable and paranormal feature the solar eclipse symbols. What's paranormal behind this natural occurrence?


Best answer:
Answer by Lex LodgeIn the light of modern science an eclipse is well understood. But in times past when reading and writing were hardly known, and agriculture was everything; well the knowledge of an eclipse must have seemed quite magical.

Annular Solar Eclipse . Spain 2005 October 03. 0900hours UT (approx). Location: Calpe, Spain. N38.65° E0.06° Video take from balcony of villa at N38.65440497° E0.07759966° ( Google Map , g.co ) Recorded using a webcam attached, with rubber bands, to the viewfinder of a 35mm SLR camera (not digital), with a piece of welders glass used as a filter attached to front of the lens with foam and sticky-tape. Lens used was 500mm focal length. The webcam recorded onto an IBM Thinkpad T22 laptop, in short clips as the hard drive was not big enough to record the entire eclipse from beginning to end. The clips were stitched together and the video stabilised to remove the movement of sun/moon during the event. The joined up clips were then speeded up, except the moment just before and after annularity - the annularity event is in real time.
