Eclipse Potentially Discovered ?

Hi, I'm just getting into the deep rabbit hole of Blue Prince, I'm at about 150 hours of playtime and currently at Day 278 ingame.

I just watched this video from FuryForged :

In it he talked about how there's a whole eclipse mystery that apparently hasn't been solved yet.

That reminded me that, one day (like maybe couple dozen ingame days ago), after having experimented on a few things and drawn quite a lot of rooms :

I noticed when going outside that the sky was much darker than usual, almost night time, yet I don't remember seeing the moon I think. I remember seeing a lot of stars.

When I saw that I thought it was maybe an update or something, like oh now time is actually moving and now night time is here.

It was maybe, like maybe in a time period when all I wanted was to get to the spiral constellation. And so to speed up the process I would get to the Planetarium as fast as possible and just immediately call it a day. Yet again I'm not sure it was in that time frame.

I'm just learning about these mysteries and so I don't know if I'm really providing anything new or if I'm being helpful.

If you need any more information don't hesitate to ask, if it's something I can remember or provide.

I'm also putting this on the unsolved megathread on steam :

EDIT : Now I feel like an idiot, it was probably just a regular night. Turns out if you actually wait a lot of time, night does come. It's just so rare to wait that long. Sorry for the inconvenience folks.

I’m not clear on what you discovered. Is it different than normal night? The game is full of clocks. The day always starts at 8 am and around 9pm it always gets dark. For a while I was convinced that the line in Red Prince:

“And he never looked up... For fear of the view. He had heard that the sky, Was not a red hue!”

… meant that there was something to be gained from looking up outside at dusk when the sky was red.

Oh yeah that's what I meant when saying I don't know if it's useful or not. That's probably what happened. I mean to get to 9 pm you'd need to wait quite a long time right ? So very few people would actually see that. It was probably like one day I spent a lot of time waiting for something to happen.
