Also, an explanation of the phenomenon or metaphor as a plot device is needed. Sander123 15:44, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Lunar eclipses in fiction
User:Tracerhand added H. Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines to the list of novels in the "Solar eclipses in fiction" article, then deleted it, as he notes, on realizing that the eclipse in that novel was a lunar eclipse.

It seems a shame to neglect lunar eclipses in fiction, such as Haggard's. Perhaps Tracerhand or someone else would care to start an article for "Lunar eclipses in fiction," with links between it and the "Solar eclipses in fiction" article?

Another possibility would be to retitle the present "Solar eclipses in fiction" article to the broader "Eclipses in fiction" to accommodate lunar eclipses as well as solar eclipses.

Any preferences?

"The Day The Earth Caught Fire" 1961 film, wasn't there a solar eclipse in the early part of this film, which was unexpected due the change in Earth's orbit? Dalavich 13:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Bollywood film featuring solar eclipse
Just like in the Tintin comics (Tintin deceived the tribal people to escape using the solar eclipse) there is a similar scene in a Bollywood Hindi film. It appears to be copied from Tintin or copied from some other movie. I fail to remember the name of the movie but as far as I recall the actor - who played the role of that character similar to Tintin - in that particular scene was most probably either Salman Khan or Amir Khan.
