About Story of Eclipses

Solar eclipses have both fascinated and frightened humanity throughout the ages. Once interpreted as divine retribution, we now know that a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon aligns between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow that can partially or completely darken our star. This captivating book, originally published in 1899, was designed for those eager to witness the total solar eclipse on May 28, 1900. It dives into the science of solar eclipses and their predictions, recounts historic occurrences from ancient civilizations to the 19th century, and examines the unique customs that have emerged around these celestial spectacles. Additionally, it provides practical tips on how to make the most of your eclipse experience. (Summary by Ava)

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
