This year, on August 21, 2017, many Americans will have a chance to experience a total solar eclipse. Total solar eclipses were rarely documented before the 10th century of the Common Era.
But, I wonder, are there any rabbinic sefarim that describe a first-hand account of a solar eclipse? Who and when were these accounts?
Also, was there any halachic analysis added to the description of the experience, e.g. a discussion of the Halacha of witnessing the molad?
