Cuando un eclipse solar y la Biblia sirvieron para defender que la Tierra era el centro del universo en el juicio contra Galileo Galilei: “El sol se detuvo”

During the historical trial against Galileo Galilei, a solar eclipse and biblical passages—specifically the phrase “the sun stood still”—were used as arguments to defend the geocentric model, which positioned Earth as the center of the universe.

Today, scientific understanding defines solar eclipses as astronomical events occurring when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow upon the Earth's surface.
