Would a solar eclipse be more verifiable as to the time of the crucifixion?

Probably not, since eclipses don't cause a full 3 hours ...from the sixth hour until the ninth hour... of darkness.

That sounds more like a weather condition to me — unusually heavy clouds, but no precipitation. I remember a Groundhog Day as a kid when it happened in local weather. There was no way the proverbial groundhog saw its shadow, and even the newspaper remarked on it the next day. A Man who stilled the storm could of course bring storm clouds without rain if He wanted.

Anyhow, now that we know of a temblor that took place during the calendar time window of interest, the next step would be to find some other record of when it struck. The Bible account is obvious, of course, but oughtn’t it have gotten notice in that day’s “mainstream media” so to speak? The Jewish calendar system was well established so through that it could be pinpointed with a date.
