Yes, of course, an eclipse ... ...Evan Von Himmel wrote:I found this symbol before many years in a book of astronomy.
According that book, this is the symbol of Charon planet, which is a kind of Pluto's moon.
Charon was also the ferryman who ferried the dead to the underworld (in Greek mythology).
I took a quick look on the net and I didn't find the symbol exactly.
But I found that:

Charon's a crescent pointing up (not down as in the SOM logo) with a circle above it. None of the astrological or astronomical symbols really resembles the one we're after.Evan Von Himmel wrote:I found this symbol before many years in a book of astronomy.
