I appreciate the article and the information contained therein. The author likely has a limited amount of space to present a LOT of material that has to explain sufficiently yet be accessible and not overwhelming to new astronomy aficionados. Please don't be so critical, readers! Anyone who is interested can Google why a writer chose to use "BCE" and not BC, or can research terms such as "pagan" and "black sabbath" as well as mythological stories or ancient rites, etc. We have become an oversensitive and reactionary society, and this is why we have so many problems. Don't sweat the small stuff! The writer presented a super article, for which I am grateful. I love to learn and am happy to follow up with my own study later, if I so choose. Look at your glass as half full instead of half empty, and don't be so touchy, readers!
