I thought the joke in the title text is that a combined solar-lunar-nephelogical eclipse is impossible, not just "rare". You can't have a solar and lunar eclipse at the same time. Either of them can be nephelogical, though.

:Triple-conjunctions (plus the 'viewpoint', to make it a four-body syzygy) are a thing, though. A rare thing.

I suspect Friday's and next Monday's comics will also be about the eclipse. We should be proactive and create a category for them. Barmar (talk) 17:12, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Might explain why there was no time to fit in a decent AF comic. (And this one definitely reminds me of '99!) 172.69.43.225 17:31, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Nephele (νεφέλη) is Greek for cloud. 172.71.123.81 17:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Ben
- I'm still trying to find a good way to word it, for those not already aware. (There are a number of related words, c.f. germanic "nebel", "nebulous" or of course "nephelococcygia"). 172.69.43.225 17:31, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

- Someone has just been adding the (currently redlinked) Category:Solar eclipses. Which is admirable, but perhaps better to have established the actual Category first. (I would have suggested "Eclipses" be created. Or at least that as a super-category for the separate Solar and Lunar cats, plus any further eclipses that individually might be mentioned.) 172.70.90.190 17:41, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Oddly enough, clouds tend to disappear during eclipses. Strange, but true. 172.70.39.72 20:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
