The solar eclipse happening Saturday will happen right over the Mesa Verde area, just as it may have done more than 900 years ago.
A petroglyph in Chaco Canyon south of Mesa Verde may represent a total solar eclipse that happened more than 900 years ago.COLORADO, USA — An annular solar eclipse known as a ring of fire appeared over the American Southwest on Saturday morning in places like Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon, where the ancestral Puebloan people likely watched a similar eclipse more than 900 years ago.
He said the pronounced curls around the circle in the petroglyph might represent a very active corona. Solar flares are more active during solar maximum. “That’s what’s so special right?" said Keller."You’re in a place where clearly a thousand years ago very similar humans were observing very similar phenomena.”
“There are cultural sensitivities that this is not a positive thing," he said."If the sun, which is the giver of life, is being destroyed by the moon, then it's more like OK, let's focus a little more here and be reflective and prayerful and mindful.” "Because eclipses only happen on new moons and full moons, you can't have an eclipse that's 5.25 moons later, you can only have an eclipse that's exactly five full moons later or five new moons later," said Keller."So, they knew to within the next lunation whether or not they were in eclipse season or not."
