Brighton Astro – Eating the Sun: The Cultural Significance of Eclipses

Speaker: James Croft | University of Sussex

All throughout history, and all across the world, eclipses have been viewed as significant events. The civilisations of ancient China, ancient Egypt, and ancient Britain have seen in them signs and symbols, portents of things to come. What can we learn about our history – and about ourselves – from our species’ response to eclipses across the ages? Join Dr. James Croft, University Chaplain and Lead Faith Advisor at the University of Sussex, to find out!
