    10 of the best pictures of solar eclipses throughout history

    The article highlights historical records and images of solar eclipses, including a 13th-century BC Chinese account, a 1097 petroglyph by the Pueblo people in New Mexico, 17th-century French missionary observations, 1806 scientific sketches by José Joaquín de Ferrer, and the first scientifically useful 1851 eclipse photograph by Johann Julius Friedrich Berkowski. These examples illustrate humanity's evolving documentation and understanding of solar eclipses.
