	Battle of Halys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Battle was avoided and a treaty was signed by the marriage of Astyages, Cyaxares' son with the daughter of Alyattes, Aryenis.
		It is also known as the Battle of the Eclipse, which was the final battle in a fifteen-year war between Alyattes II of Lydia and Cyaxares of the Medes.
		It took place on May 28, 585 BC, and ended abruptly due to a total solar eclipse: the eclipse was perceived as an omen, indicating that the gods wanted the fighting to stop.

	Thales of Miletus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		First is the fact that during a solar eclipse, the shadow caused by the interposition of the earth between the sun and the moon is always convex; therefore the earth must be spherical.
		How Thales foretold the eclipse is not known but there is strong opinion that he was able to perform this remarkable feat through knowledge of a cycle known as the Saros, with some attributing his success to use of the Exeligmos cycle.
		Aëtius (II.28) recorded: [Thales] says that eclipses of the sun take place when the moon passes across it in a direct line, since the moon is earthy in character; and it seems to the eye to be laid on the disc of the sun'.

	Roman to Julian Conversion: Analysis AUC 586 = 168 BC
		That the battle is Pydna is certain because the inscription also mentions Attalus, brother of king Eumenes II of Asia, who according to Livy was present at the battle as a legate to the Romans.
		Livy's account of the eclipse is clearly tendentious: it is inaccurate in astronomical detail, and it emphasises Roman ability to predict the eclipse and the inability of the Macedonians to do so (the reverse is more likely to have been the case).
		It is perfectly possible that the source of this account eliminated the interval between the battle and the eclipse to further improve its dramatic effect.

		Eclipses in providence, like eclipses in nature, are but a part of his own grand plan, and necessarily involved in it.
		The eclipse of your faith, the darkness of your minds, the fainting of your hopes, all these things are but the parts of God’s plan for making you ripe for the great inheritance into which you shall soon enter.
		In the middle of the battle a sudden eclipse happened, and such was the horror of all the warriors, that they made peace there and then.

	Electronic Antiquities Volume III, Number 7
		The eclipse, Thales prediction of it, and the historical circumstances for which it was relevant are detailed only by Herodotos (1.74): After this, because Alyattes refused to surrender the Scythians despite the ongoing pleas of Kyaxares, a war ensued between the Lydians and Medes over a period of some five years.
		The eclipse of 30 September 610 is more likely than that of 585 only in that the onset of the battle would have to be placed, as is logical, in the morning instead of late afternoon.
		The eclipse of 19 May 557 may have been a better candidate from the point of view of striking visibility.75 (.95), but it is out of the required time frame entirely and therefore would demand a drastic al teration of the chronologies.

	NASA - Lunar Eclipses of History
		For total eclipses, the umbral magnitude is always greater than or equal to 1.
		Eclipse predictions presented here are based on j=2 ephemerides for the Sun (Newcomb, 1895) and Moon (Brown, 1919, and Eckert, Jones and Clark, 1954).
		The largest uncertainty in the position of eclipse paths is caused by fluctuations in Earth's rotation due primarily to tidal friction of the Moon.

	THE BATTLE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		An equally intractable problem is the association of the eclipse with the battle.
		Herodotus relates (7.37) that a total eclipse occurred in 480 B.C. just as Xerxes set out from Sardis to Abydos although it is certain that no eclipse occurred in or around 480 B.C. It has been argued, however, that in this instance there was a clear motive ascribable to the subterfuge (Panchenko 1994, 276).
		In this case, one possibility would be to contemplate the continuation of the war between the Medes and the Lydians for some years after the "battle of the eclipse" thereby lowering the date of the peace treaty that was eventually drawn up between Astyages and Alyattes.

		The Eclipse arrived in the system and detected 2 warbirds which still left unaccounted for, so the Eclipse went straight to battle stations.
		We continued to fire on the Warbird until we had drained most of the warbirds shields, once her shields were down we opened fire using tricobalt torpedoes which immediately split the hull of the warbird causing a spectacular explosion.
		The Eclipse not wanting to be caught in the blast immediatly tractored all its fighters and then fired the remaining tricobalt torpedoes, she then went straight to warp and left the system.

		To conclude this review, Mind Eclipse were a really nice surprise to me. Don’t waste any more time and get in touch with them to buy their album.
		Soms kiest Mind Eclipse voor iets te ‘lege’ riffs, waardoor bijvoorbeeld in ‘Titanium Cromlech’ of ‘Of God, Satan...’ de eenvoud schaadt, maar bijvoorbeeld het intermezzo ‘Vacuum Of The Mind’ gevolgd door ‘Leaders And Followers’ had weer niet misstaan op een oudere Morbid Angel CD.

		I now use Eclipse, but beyond saying that comparing it to Notepad is laughable I have no desire to conduct IDE wars here (or anywhere else--each to his/her own).
		As AspectJ 1.1 is already using the eclipse compiler, and there is a big effort in AJDT to provide first class IDE support for AspectJ, it's a natural progression for AspectJ to become more tightly coupled with the eclipse community.
		Eclipse is already a way ahead of NetBeans and is progressing with MASSIVE speed.

	BEA to join Eclipse open source tools foundation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Eclipse also has a more mature and better designed plug-in architecture, which makes it faster and easier for BEA to switch to Eclipse than to Netbeans.
		It is for example very easy to build plugins for eclipse to do modelling or other applications that needs to have 'semantic/structural' knowledge of the code, as opposed to just being plugins that does some job on the text in a text file.
		I've used Eclipse a bit but to be honest I don’t get on with it but that's just a personal thing – I fell in love with IntellIJ the first time I used it and have stuck with it ever since.

		Both verses were pretty good, but like a few other battles here there were only a few stand out bars.
		There was one line that Eclipse had that just made me think "That's the battle." Because there wasn't much consistant spectacular effort put forth in the rest of either verses.
