Here's how I look at it. A solar eclipse tells us that God created our solar system in such a manner so that solar eclipses, as well as lunar eclipses, occur. Before we understood how the solar system worked, it was one thing to see them as harbingers or portents. The day of such interpretations has passed because now we live in a time when science exists and science reveals to us the glory and majesty of God at work in creation.

Read this interesting article this morning with my tea:

Buber is not talking about the sun and the moon. Nor I am. The 'eclipse in this hour of history' is something entirely different, and certainly nothing to do with superstition.
