So something could eclipse the Sun for a bit, with no devastating effects upon the earth?
And how come stars can only be seen at night? And why does city light affect this?

Depends on how big is is, and how far away it is. It could be extremely light, but still big enough to cause an eclipse. Or, it could be extremely heavy, which would mess up the tides (among other things).
Causing an eclipse wouldn't do anything particularly interesting, unless it blocked out the Sun for so long Earth started to freeze!
Was it a Global or Local event?I'd like to ask you highly-educated scientists for an explanation of how the Sun went dark for 3 hours during Jesus' crucifixion, but I'm afraid you'd answer with the scientist's way of saying, "I don't know" --- (giving the asker the 3rd degree).

It could. But then again, it could be very devastating indeed.So something could eclipse the Sun for a bit, with no devastating effects upon the earth?
Because sunlight and city light effectively illuminate the atmosphere. Starlight is quite dim, so if the atmosphere is aglow, you're not lightly to notice the stars through all the other light.And how come stars can only be seen at night? And why does city light affect this?

.Luke 23:44 said:And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour..
Well, at least this passage is backed up by the Gospel of Matthew.
Additionally, the "stopping" not only of the moon's orbit around our planet but additionally the "stopping" of our planet's rotation would definitely cause the earth to quake and the rock to rend, along with the massive damage to the temple.
Sounds physicsy to me!My apologies.
I got into a COMPLETELY off topic deviation yet again on this thread.
My bad
It's in three of the books,Well, at least this passage is backed up by the Gospel of Matthew.

Not that I think that this happened, but at least Luke and Matthew got their stories straight (a difficult thing to do with the various books of the Bible IMNSHO).
I reckon it was just a normal eclipse. Either that, or a literary embellishment.It's in three of the books,
"From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land." (Matthew 27:45)
"At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour." (Mark 15:33)
"It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour," (Luke 23:44)
Also,
Thallus (52 A.D) quoted by Julius Africanus
"Upon the whole world there came a most fearful darkness. Many rocks were split in two by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. It seems very unreasonable to me that Thallus, in the third book of his histories, would try to explain away this darkness as an eclipse of the sun. For the Jews celebrate their Passover on the 14th day according to the moon, and the death of our Saviour falls on the day before the Passover. But an eclipse of the sun can only take place when the moon comes under the sun, how then could an eclipse have occurred when the moon is directly opposite the sun?"
Phlegon, quote from his Olympiads mentioned by Julius Africanus
"Phlegon records that, in the time of Tiberius Caesar, at full moon, there was a full eclipse of the sun from the sixth hour to the ninth . . . It is evident that he did not know of any such events in previous years."
Phlegon cited by Origen in Against Celsus Book 2
"The darkening of the sun took place at the time of Tiberius Caesar, in whose reign Jesus was crucified, and the great earthquakes which then took place, Phlegon, I believe, has written an account in the thirteenth or fourteenth book of his Chronicles."
Tertullian wrote "In the same hour, too, the light of day was withdrawn, when the sun at the very time was in his meridian blaze. Those who were not aware that this had been predicted about Christ, no doubt thought it an eclipse. You yourselves have the account of the world-portent still in your archives."
Phlegon of Tralles cited by Eusebius of Caesarea (264 340), in his Chronicle, that during the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad (AD 32/33)
"a great eclipse of the sun occurred at the sixth hour that excelled every other before it, turning the day into such darkness of night that the stars could be seen in heaven, and the earth moved in Bithynia, toppling many buildings in the city of Nicaea".
Paulus Orosius (A.D. 375 418), wrote circa A.D. 417 that Jesus
"voluntarily gave himself over to the Passion but through the impiety of the Jews, was apprehended and nailed to the cross, as a very great earthquake took place throughout the world, rocks upon mountains were split, and a great many parts of the largest cities fell by this extraordinary violence. On the same day also, at the sixth hour of the day, the Sun was entirely obscured and a loathsome night suddenly overshadowed the land, as it was said, an impious age feared eternal night. Moreover, it was quite clear that neither the Moon nor the clouds stood in the way of the light of the Sun, so that it is reported that on that day the Moon, being fourteen days old, with the entire region of the heavens thrown in between, was farthest from the sight of the Sun, and the stars throughout the entire sky shone, then in the hours of the day or rather in that terrible night. To this, not only the authority of the Holy Gospels attest, but even some books of the Greeks."

I was wondering if an unknown planet passing between the Earth and the Sun could do that?
My solution to the Schwarzschild metric implies that Rammstein meets your parameters - more rock, less metal, equal awesomeisity.Okay mr. physicist... Do you know of any bands like Opeth, yet less 'metal-ish'? Since physicists know everything (physics can - after all - explain everything) I expect you do.
Without looking it up, I believe the longest solar eclipse on record is 7:52.I reckon it was just a normal eclipse. Either that, or a literary embellishment.
Then it was probably a embellishment.Without looking it up, I believe the longest solar eclipse on record is 7:52.
8 minutes is a long way from 3 hours.
That's quite an embellishment.Then it was probably a embellishment.
