I've been reading this evening that the Sun went Dark last night for just about a min. Is this true or are people just blowing smoke?
Vagn said:I thought that was called night? It happens every day, unless you are in the extreme north or extreme south.
In all seriousness according to the second video there's half an hour of the image missing, it looks edited just from that, so I'll happily call shenanigans.

Vagn said:I meant night-time :tongue2: Sorry for the confusion.
No, the Sun did not go completely dark. It may have appeared dimmer or redder due to atmospheric conditions or an eclipse, but it never completely disappeared.
The Sun may have appeared to go dark due to an eclipse, which occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth. This can cause the Sun to appear dimmer or even completely blocked out for a short period of time.
The Sun does not go dark on a regular basis. Eclipses, which are the most common cause of the Sun appearing dark, only occur a few times a year and are only visible in certain parts of the world. Other factors, such as atmospheric conditions, can also affect the appearance of the Sun.
No, it is not dangerous if the Sun appears to go dark. As mentioned before, this is usually due to a natural occurrence like an eclipse or atmospheric conditions. However, it is important to never look directly at the Sun, even when it appears dimmer or redder, as it can still cause damage to the eyes.
Yes, we can predict when an eclipse will occur and when the Sun may appear dimmer or redder due to atmospheric conditions. However, unexpected events such as volcanic eruptions or wildfires can also affect the appearance of the Sun.
