The July 2018 eclipse — which will happen on Friday, July 27 — will last about four hours and be visible across wide swaths of the world including Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, South America and the Middle East. The totality, or when the earth’s shadow covers the moon and creates complete darkness, will last one hour and 43 minutes.
While many people will be able to see partial views of the eclipse, areas in eastern Africa, the Middle East and some parts of Europe and Asia will have some of the best views of the moon turning red and when the totality begins to recede
Astrologers claim to pinpoint the exact date and time that Joshua apparently “stopped” the sun. Through simulation software, they were able to derive the exact date that there was an annular eclipse in Tel Aviv (Israel) which is 30th October, 1207 BCE. It is the oldest human record of a solar eclipse. It is amazing what a little brains and some simulation software can do. I don’t know how true or false this article is, but it makes an interesting point of further research especially for theology or astronomy students.
