Indeed, what would NASA be doing referring to an event in the Bible, unthinkable!

Here is your NASA link.

If you look carefully, you will also see:-

1. The Death of Herod in 23BC

"As for the other Matthias who had stirred up the sedition, he (Herod) had him burned alive along with some of his companions. And on that same night there was an eclipse of the Moon. But Herod's illness became more and more severe. . . ."
from Flavius Josephus


2. Death of Augustus (27AD)

"For the troops in Pannonia had mutinied as soon as they learned of the death of Augustus, and coming together into one camp and strengthening it, they committed many rebellious acts. ... But when the moon suffered eclipse, they took the omen to heart and their spirit abated, so that they did no further harm to this detachment and dispatched envoys again to Tiberius."
- Roman History by Cassius Dio.
