    Hi Brandon,
    This is another thing that has been around for as long as human history and is impossible not to notice if you are around when one happens (especially a total solar eclipse), so there is no one you can identify as having discovered it.

    On this web site is some information about historical observations of eclipses by many different cultures:

    cheers,
