HEY BOBCATS!
Here's some eclipse mythology to mull over. The earliest word for "eclipse" in the
Chinese language is "shih," which translates as "to eat." Other cultures have similarly
compared a solar eclipse to a devouring of the sun, including the Vikings who believed
a "sky wolf" was responsible for consuming the sun. Korean mythology centers on fire
dogs that try to possess the sun: their "bite" results in an eclipse. And the Kwakiutl
tribe of British Columbia believe that heaven's mouth swallows the sun whole. Hope
your eclipse experience is a satiating one. Keep on scrolling, cats.
Aug. 21, Solar Eclipse: All campuses will be closed due to a high volume of regional
traffic.
