The darkness of night had slowly drifted away and now the sun was coming out to play peekaboo behind thick dark clouds that promised rain.
Before the Fifth Great War there used to be only two to five eclipses a year.
After the catastrophic damage done to the earth by the first world countries fighting each other, eclipses became more regular with up to twenty four a year.
