Solar Eclipses are not Caused by the Moon
According to Vedic Astronomy, the most ancient and accurate system of astronomy on the planet, solar eclipses are not caused by the Moon coming in front of the Sun as astronomers believe. Rather the Moon is described as being further away than the Sun and what happens at the time of a solar eclipse is the Moon goes behind the Sun and a dark planet call Rahu comes between the Sun and the Earth.

In my 5 minutes of internet research, it seems that it's based on old Hindu texts. I've got nothing against Hinduism, so I'm good with the theory of a large god/snake severed-head-being riding through the heavens on a horse-drawn chariot and briefly swallowing the sun.

But sometimes it could help to explain things like the mysterious eclipse.

So, it's not blacked out by Xenu's spaceship passing by?
