Was there and eclpise at the battle of isandlwana?

Yes, there was a solar eclipse on January 22, 1879, the same day as the Battle of Isandlwana. The eclipse occurred in the early afternoon, shortly before the Zulu forces launched their attack on the British camp. Some accounts suggest that the dimming of the light may have had an impact on the morale and visibility for the British troops during the battle.
