A Solar Eclipse Painting from the 1700s
Yeah so I picked this as my APOD for the week because I found it interesting/scary. I have never gotten the chance to see a solar eclipse, but I really do hope that I will get to see one in my lifetime. The man in this picture looks completely freaked out. I know solar eclipses are not scary like at all, but I think that maybe back then when the people were not really used to seeing things like that happening and they probably thought that it was the end of the world or something crazy like that.
