Every few years, somewhere on Earth, is witness to one of the planet's greatest sights: a total eclipse.

A total solar eclipse is rare, but it can be calculated centuries in advance. 

However, that wasn’t always the case. For thousands of years, solar eclipses were rare events that were considered to be bad omens. 

Learn more about solar eclipses, how they work, and how people have dealt with them throughout history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
