Episode 90: The Very First Recorded Eclipse KTU 1.78

from Religiosanity · host Rutgers Presbyterian Church

Pastor Andrew brings us back again to the ancient city of Ugarit, this time to talk about a short cuneiform passage that briefly details (what most scholars think is) a solar eclipse. This leads into a discussion about viewing eclipses (including the Pastor's 2017 trip to Kentucky to see a solar eclipse), and the intersection of religion and astronomy, particular in Hawaii where the two have been butting heads of late.
