This question should be an "old chesnut", to anyone born later than the Renaissance, since thinkers of that time were the first to find a crucial internal contradiction, in the gospel accounts. If it is the first time this has been asked, on Answerbank, I ought to be surprised.

So, in detail, I need to ask whether gospel statement are generic: "the skies darkened", or specific: "the skies grew dark with clouds"; "the sun's disk was obscured" and so on.

I am surprised that v.e. doesnt come out with "No, we know there wasnt" anyway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion_darkness we know there wasnt Patrick Moore used to say not on a yearly basis fifty years ago and that is good enough for me. BUT you can't have an eclipse if there is a full moon - apparently it means the sun/moon has to be in two places at one...
