Solar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. There are partial eclipse and total eclipse. The phenomenon happened for the first time in Korea after the last partial eclipse on 8 April 2005. The most recent total eclipse occurred on 19 August 1987. The next partial eclipse will take place on 15 January 2010, and the total eclipse will be observed on 2 September 2035 in Pyongyang region. Hong Dae-yong, a scholar in the 18th century also wrote about the solar eclipse in his book Euisanmundap. In his book, Heoja asks, “It was said by the ancient people that ‘the sky is circular and the earth is rectangular’ but why do you say the earth is in circular shape?” Sil-ong answers, “You fool, not all things are invariably rectangular. If so, what would the world be like! It is because the shape of the moon is round that the covered part of the sun is round when the moon covers the sun, and it is because the shape of the earth is round that the covered part of the moon is round when the earth covers the moon.” Arthur C. Clark, a renowned SF writer recently passed away, wrote that “highly developed scientific technologies are sometimes hard to distinguish from magic.” It means that scientific product or phenomena that cross perceptual level of the time easily lead to irrational reactions. Solar eclipse was an undoubted natural phenomenon, while it was a magic to Native Americans of the time. Tecumseh, a Native American leader who resisted white Americans with his troops from the late 18th century to 1813, was said to have kept his stance almost in a god-like position. It was because he kept his promise of imprisoning the Sun in darkness. With his European education, he is known to have foreseen the solar eclipse of 16 June 1806.
