Cosmic Catastrophe

[oil pan 4]

Hubble observes stars blinking out and coming back or or dimming and coming back all the time that can't be explained by planets, dust, ect.
The larger stars seem to have longer dimming or blinking events. Beetlejuice went dim for years. The hundred days dark star is many times more massive than the sun.
I too would like to believe "the suns output never changes" but there's too much evidence not to be open to other possibilities.
Plus something scared the hell out of ancient people all over the world with regards to the sun darkening, whatever it wasn't just a solar eclipse and has caused people to remain fearful until the advent of modern astronomy.

We'd want to ignore anything we observe from Hubble with respect to any ancient reporting.
Lack of atmosphere and the light-gathering capability of Hubble's optics makes for observation even God had no capability for.
No one would know about a hundred-day dark star unless they witnessed it's beginning. There'd be no way to let others know, globally about it. How would anyone quantify the 'size' of a star without modern technology?
We all come from Africa. Any cultural mythology which includes anything to do with the Sun could be traced back to Africa, and the original event, if it did occur. And be sustained as a myth even if it never occurred.
The Sun's output doesn't vary by more than a fraction of a percent. And you couldn't tell without modern instrumentation.
If something happened all over the world, and is recorded, then it happened within the last 4,500-years. There are no records which predate that time period.
Presently, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory can tell you where any celestial body was or will be positioned in past times or future times.
I've never met anyone in 69-years that was fearful about a darkening Sun.

Modern astronomy gave people reason to not fear solar eclipses.
Recent astronomy shows stars going dim or going dark completely.
You also haven't met any one affraid of Saber tooth tigers.

I have three different Bibles, have read all three, and off the top of my head, have no recollection of reading such a thing.

I was dredging the deep recesses of my memory, but a fraction of second is all DuckDuckGo needs:

In the very short history of documented astronomical observation, it's quite plausible that, some stars which have been photographed or sketched, were unrecognized as variable stars, as perhaps, only recently are they now undergoing their dimming phase, never experienced before.

That's an 'End Times' event. Nothing ever experienced.

Now you are in complete accord with Ben Davisdson. Congrats.

There are stars that nova once every Earth year. Maybe they all do on some cosmic time scale.

A star's lifespan is determined by it's mass and how quickly it burns its fuel.
Internal pressure wants to 'explode' the star, while gravitational pressure provides fusion potential and holds the star together.
Supermassive stars burn fast and have short lives. Lose their outer shells and collapse into neutron stars.
A supernova is an irreversible event. It only goes one way. I'm not acquainted with 'nova' very well.

"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Robert Oppenheimer

https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Robert...y-test?share=1

Robert Oppenheimer was a man well versed in Sanskrit. He used to read ancient Hindu scriptures and had an acute eye for the scientific and philosophical gems therein. His statement '...first nuclear explosion in modern times ' was given after the twin nuclear blasts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. He was the head of the Los Alamos Laboratory whose job was to bring this nuclear bomb to reality. So in his statement he is actually referring to Mahabharata. He quoted Lord Krishna's words ' I have become Kaal, the destroyer of worlds'. This because he was guilt ridden about the scale of destruction. As to the nuclear explosion in modern times, he firmly believed that weapons of destruction on such a scale and maybe even more were already being used in the battle of Kurushketra.1

[oil pan 4]

The scale of "nova" starts at about Carrington event level and goes up to Carrington event times a number with about eighteen zeros in it.

One must wonder why people 3000 years ago are describing stuff that sounds exactly like modern technology and weapons systems.
Oppenheimer seemed to think the Mahabharata has some basis in fact.
