A dark day in history?

[Shawn]

I was led to this site in the course of looking about tonight. Since I was a history under-grad I find such things of interest. Blah blah blah

anyway... Under Canada's timeline I found the following entry to which I have never seen mention before.

1780 - May 19, A mysterious darkness enveloped much of New England and part of Canada in the early afternoon; the cause has never been determined.

(HFA, '96, p.30)(DTnet, 5/19/97)

Do-do do-do do-do do-do

You are now entering... the Twil..

Has anyone ever heard of this before? We had a good enough command of celestial matters to rule out most things by that date, so wtf?

[Shawn]

Google has heard of it.

Nice write up.

Yes. In fact, it recently happened along the coastal, north, and northeastern states, and much of the rest of the world on November 2nd. Still pretty dark here
