Solar eclipses have played an important role in revealing knowledge about the solar system, the galaxy, and even the universe. That's because scientists can study the corona of light around the sun, which is not visible unless the disk of the sun is covered.
"Britain’s famed mathematical physicist, Sir Arthur Eddington, organized an expedition to observe the total solar eclipse in Brazil that occurred in May 1919." Measurements that he took were affirming evidence that Albert Einstein's theory was correct, leading to the conclusion that the universe had a beginning.

It changed the scientific paradigm because, up to this point, astronomers had believed that the universe was eternal. What a shocker to discover that it wasn't the universe that was eternal, but that there was a Cause beyond space and time Who certainly is eternal.
"The universe now clearly testified of the supernatural, super-intelligent handiwork of the God of the Bible."
