Eclipses, especially #TotalSolarEclipses, were important in FAR more than just "several" ancient societies worldwide.
The similarity of a #TotalSolarEclipse to the pupil & iris of a gigantic "eye in the sky" or a "Sun bird" was noticed, & responded to, by multiple ancient cultures.

The High Altitude Observatory likened the negative image of the 1998 total solar eclipse to a scarab. . .
If modern scientists can perceive a similarity between a #TotalSolarEclipse & a #ScarabBeetle, so could ancient Egyptians.

When I first saw the white bird-like pattern in the Sun's corona in French astronomer Serge Koutchmy's photo of the 1991 #TotalSolarEclipse that was published in the May 1992 #NationalGeographic, I immediately intuited that it was the source of inspiration for the #Phoenix myth.

#TotalSolarEclipse: During partial and full solar eclipses, electricity demand rises. The shortfall is made up by hydropower and gas. Standby "peaker plants" create much of this increased gas energy, at the cost of extra pollution: theverge.com/2024/4/8/241...

The total eclipse shows us how important solar energy is to the US
And why the US needs more solar panels and batteries.
