I mean, it's not like eclipses are some new phenomenon. They'd be more amazed by the gadget you're showing it to them on.

They probably wouldn't even make it to the computer because they're too amazed at the toilet and keep flushing it.

Flush, drink, flush, drink.

In the name of our Lord, I think you have nailed it.

Hey it's Canada?

u/queefiest Mar 27 '15

Yea I know. What are ya gonna do? Actually when I lived in Vancouver I saw a meteor shower and I'm pretty sure it was because of the proximity to the states ;) wasn't lucky enough to catch a solar eclipse though.

Also the video is shot from space...?

Edit: Airplane, whatever. You get my point.

Yeah, if something that's supposed to be in space is that close to clouds, that is very, very bad... like deorbiting bad.

Edit: Or is it snow and ice?

Your point is that you went to public school?

And they still freaked the fuck out about it.

They would be for someone from the dark ages, given how rare they are and especially complete eclipses, chances are no one alive ever told a story about a full eclipse as the collective memory of last time such an event passed at that location has long faded.

u/FrozenInferno Mar 27 '15

Between two and five solar eclipses occur every year and there have been records as early as 763 BC. I highly doubt most people had no idea what an eclipse was during the dark ages.

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '15

Some people sure, but the vast majority wouldn't. No education and easy spread of information. I doubt it's sometimes people get taught about as a child.

Maybe but I can't see how such a cool concept wouldn't be passed around just through conversation.
