Thanks for this bit of history. Another interesting Moon story is the Canterbury monks' description in 1178 of a possible lunar crater event (Bruno Crater?). Also, the 1833 Leonid Meteor Storm would be another interesting subject. I have early Virginia ancestors who were shocked into Methodism after that event! Their descriptions were recorded in the family bible. Our wildfires in Santa Cruz in 2020 made it dark as night at 3PM. At that point the smoke was high enough it was not significantly affecting the air quality but blocking all light from above.
