Eclipse myths and science span a long view of by gone eclipses
A historical vignette traces solar eclipses from ancient Chinese dragon folklore to Edison and Twain, noting the saros cycle begun in 933 and predicting the final total eclipse in 2033 with later partials through 2195. It closes with a 1978 note: Cyrus Vance said the Carter administration would not sell 90 warplanes to Israel if Congress blocked sales to Egypt or Saudi Arabia.
