[_ Old Earth _] When an Eclipse is not an Eclipse

[AURIGA1969]

In the spring of 1994 there was a Solar Eclipse which I veiwed from my hometown of Port Huron. A year would pass and one day while reading
a book on nostradamas in a chapter near the back of the book the statement was made that the 1994 spring Eclipse was NOT FORCAST!!
I took this statement with a grain of salt. Another year would pass and I found myself in Jail for 30 days for trespassing in church. On a visit to the Jail Library I checked out two books...one called a Book of the Heavens and the other a Bible. Back in my cell I turned to the chapter listing all the Eclipses from 1950 to 2000. The 1994 spring eclipse was not
LISTED!!!! Meaning??It was not the Moon blocking the Sun but something else Large and Round. At that point I seemed to recall reading something in the bible about this but I wasnt sure where. Minor Prophets
ran through my mind so I started reading them all... when I got to AMOS
I hit Paydirt at Chapter 8 Verse 9 it says: And in that day I the Lord your God will make the Sun go down at noon and Darken the earth in the mid-day......Since it wasnt the Moon blocking the Sun perhaps it was Jesus's
Spacecraft simulating an Eclipse. this story is true, what do you think???

Good grief.

Well, let's see what NASA has to say.

Oh look, there was an eclipse on May 10, 1994 and it's Port Huron, Michigan is precisely in it's path.

Between Nostadamas and NASA, I think I'm going to have to trust the latter.

The eclipse that wasnt

Cubedbee responded to my story with a chart from NASA showing the path of an eclipse 10 MAY 1994. You may note that the Chart from NASA
was not compiled till August of 1996....two years and three months after
said eclipse. My contention still holds that the Eclipse of 10 MAY 1994 was
NOT FORCAST! AURIGA And what is a NASA scientist publishing Eclipses that have already happened? How does that inform me of any thing? Oh yea their trying to cover their asses.

And I contend that deep in the jungles of Brazil there is an iguana that speaks perfect Italian. Unfortunately, my contention proves zero.

Also, you won't find many web pages from before 1996 anyway.

Looks like this guy knew it was coming...

And this guy...(about halfway down the list)

This chap seemed well prepared for this unexpected event as well.

NASA seemed ready to take some photos..here you can see the shadow passing right over your area.

I have an '80s astronomy book at home that I believe has a list of eclipses through 2000.

I'll see if we can't put this ridiculous notion to bed once and for all.

Here's a news article from the May 9th U of Mich paper. I'm sure whoever archived the paper must have went in and inserted the story after the fact, because they were part of the worldwide conspiracy to cover up Jesus's sunblocking rocketship.

Or you could always go buy the definitive eclipse prediction book, published in 1987, which predicts the May 1994 eclipse. I believe this book shows all the necessary math, so you can confirm the calculations for yourself. Of course, if the giant worldwide conspiracy went back and inserted false mathematics into all copies of a 7 year old text, I guess this would prove nothing.

CB,

in the interest of myself and everyone else here, I would kindly ask you not to write posts so funny that they induce projectile sprays of milk out of peoples noses.
