We're Doomed!

I guess I should say that about today's total solar eclipse, which this article informs us that "the superstitious and religious view as a sign of potential doom," being that I count myself among the former — Solar eclipse pits superstition against science.

Nevermind that this blog's namesake, Fr. Matteo Ricci, S.J., predicted eclipses for the Chinese emperor, "introduced trigonometric and astronomical instruments, and translated the first six books of Euclid into Chinese;" he was religious, ipso facto he was superstitious.

The Brights, i.e. those non-superstitious and non-religious smartypantses, can enjoy tomorrow's event at 11:00 KST — Solar eclipse to darken Japan, S. Korea.

UPDATE: It looks like the cloud god is blocking our view of the moon god eating the sun god.
