A famed medieval transcript described the Earth’s lunar companion as “wholly gone.”
as having completely blocked the moon — a historical account that has long stumped scientists, historians, and astronomers
The writer noted that it was an otherwise clear night sky, which suggested that the disappearance of the moon could not simply be explained by cloud cover. It was long believed that this celestial event was due to a lunar eclipse, long interesting astronomers, historians, and climatologists alike, including George Frederick, who described the supposed eclipse as an “instance of a ‘black’ eclipse when the moon becomes quite invisible instead of shining with the familiar coppery hue.
This data was then compared to tree-ring records from the same period. As ice cores lock in climatic events, tree rings grow in response to climatic changes to record the planet’s history. Through this analysis, the researchers determined that during the years in question, the planet experienced more precipitation and greater cloud cover — both of which may have been the result of increased volcanic matter in the stratosphere.
