The Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week Key Takeaways  A common interpretation across civilizations is that solar eclipses happen when the people on earth have done something bad Another popular interpretation of solar eclipses is that when humans were fighting too much on Earth, the sun and the moon would begin to fight in the skyIn ancient civilizations, evidence of human sacrifices is common in places where eclipses occurred Today is the most cosmically perfect time in the history of the universe; the fact that we can see eclipses at all is a complete coincidence In 620 million years, the moon will be far away enough from Earth that we will no longer have total eclipses, only partial eclipsesNo other rocky planet in the solar system has a moon large enough to cause a total eclipse After the April 8th, 2024 solar eclipse, the next viewable solar eclipse in the United States won't be until 2040 Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgScientific American's Lee Billings and Clara Moskowitz join Rachel this week to talk all things eclipse.
