solar eclipse
as seen from manila. this is the sun being eclipsed by the moon. the eclipse started at 8.30am and ended 10.30am. unfortunately this is only a partial eclipse. so far i have photographed two of this rare phenomena. the first one was in 1988. but alas they are both partial eclipse. i hope that in my lifetime i can still experience a total solar eclipse as my grandparents did in the 1930's. A total solar eclipse is when the sun is completely covered by the moon. when this happens the day will become night but only until the event lasts.
would you believe that in ancient china the people thought that the sun is being eaten by a dragon. the emperor called his priests to explain what was happening. but unfortunately none of them were able to explain the phenomenon, since the priests did not have the knowledge about the eclipse during those days. so the emperor ordered the priests to be executed. such is the price people pay for lack of knowledge.
