Solar Eclipses Explains solar eclipses.
May 28th 585 BC The Battle of Halys (a river in what is now called Turkey) happened on that date. Do you know what else occurred on that date? A total eclipse of the Sun! Because eclipses can be calculated with extreme precicision, this makes May 28, 585 BC the oldest, most accurately known date in human history!
