Since before the dawn of civilization, humans have looked toward the sky and thought to themselves, "Why are we here? Wouldn't it be nicer if we were inside right now?" One noteworthy point of interest in the heavens has always been the sun, which has served as the one constant in an ever-changing world of uncertain futures and unpredictable mammoths. Its life-giving light is our omnipresent reminder that no matter how dark the night may seem, there will always be the start of a new day on the horizon before much longer."As such, when our parent star seems to deviate from its routine, people have a tendency to become concerned.Ancient Norse explorers told legends of the sun being chased by a pair of wolves. Should it ever be caught by either of these lupine predators, the inevitable bite would be visible to all the world. A Hindu myth tells the story of the demon Rahu's disembodied head attempting to swallow the sun whole... but because he was lacking in a throat, it would fall out through the hole in his neck shortly thereafter. These fantastic explanations for how solar eclipses come to be are both interesting and amusing, especially now that we know their true cause: Every so often, the sun experiences a crisis of identity, and briefly believes itself to be a banana.On Monday, August 21st, at precisely 10:21AM Pacific Standard Time, the sun will not only become a banana; it will also eat itself. We at /r/Pics are pleased to celebrate this phenomenon, and although we welcome all of your photographs of it, we feel compelled to remind you that staring directly at celestial fruit is a very bad idea. Please, take the necessary precautions... and if at all possible, please provide a terrestrial banana for scale.You can filter out eclipse related content by browsing the https://ec.reddit.com/r/pics subdomain, or you can see all the Eclipse content so far posted, here./r/Pics will be awarding custom permanant userflair to the users that submit the 25 highest scoring images relating to the August 21st Eclipse, get to posting!Be sure to check out the Live Thread for updates as to the locations of celestial bodies plus other updates related to everything from safety to neat tidbits!
