Ancient Reports of Eclipses and Occultations

JOA 2023, Vol. 13, No. 2, Page 7

Author(s): Marek Zawilski

Abstract: The article discusses a collection of the oldest records on the observation of eclipses and occultations, which was created thanks to many years of painstaking work of astronomers and historians. These records come from different cultural areas and require verification and interpretation. As it turns out, verified historical information is reliable and consistent with today's theory of eclipses and occultations.
