Thales of Miletus
The ancient Greek philosopher Thales was born in Miletus in Greek Ionia.Aristotle, the major source for Thales's philosophy and science, identified Thales as the first person to investigate the basic principles, the question of the originating substances of matter and, therefore, as the founder of the school of natural philosophy. Thales was interested in almost everything, investigating almost all areas of knowledge, philosophy, history, science, mathematics, engineering, geography, and politics. He proposed theories to explain many of the events of nature, the primary substance, the support of the earth, and the cause of change. Thales was much involved in the problems of astronomy and provided a number of explanations of cosmological events which traditionally involved supernatural entities. His questioning approach to the understanding of heavenly phenomena was the beginning of Greek astronomy. Thales' hypotheses were new and bold, and in freeing phenomena from godly intervention, he paved the way towards scientific endeavor. He founded the Milesian school of natural philosophy, developed the scientific method, and initiated the first western enlightenment. A number of anecdotes is closely connected to Thales' investigations of the cosmos. When considered in association with his hypotheses they take on added meaning and are most enlightening. Thales was highly esteemed in ancient times, and a letter cited by Diogenes Laertius, and purporting to be from Anaximenes to Pythagoras, advised that all our discourse should begin with a reference to Thales (D.L. II.4).

The moon is never "blocked out". It's not even clear what that might look like, or what it means. -- During a solar eclipse, the moon gets in the way, so that you can't see the sun for a few minutes. -- During a lunar eclipse, the Earth gets in the way, so that the sun can't shine on the moon and light it up for a few hours.
An eclipse is a shadow. A lunar eclipse is the shadow of the Earth darkening the Moon, while a solar eclipse is a shadow of the Moon darkening the Earth.

Most historians believe that the predicted eclipse was the solar eclipse of May 28, 585 BC It's the staring point of scince
