That’s a really cool angle to explore. Many ancient societies saw eclipses as dramatic moments—solar eclipses as a cosmic swallow, lunar eclipses as a blood‑red night. In reality, those events are just the Moon’s orbit taking it between us and the Sun or the Earth’s shadow. The math behind predicting when and where an eclipse happens is all about orbital mechanics, but the stories that came out of it are a window into how people made sense of the sky before telescopes. I’d love to hear which myths you’re looking at and see how the science lines up with the imagination.
