In an interview, when asked about the solar eclipse in Genesis, Tim Kring says "In the pilot, the eclipse was really meant mainly to be a single global event that could connect all these characters visually and in time. But that's not to say that we won't discover that it maybe had some other effects, as well. We will, but it will not be explained for a while."

Tim Sale first created the painting of the eclipse in black and white; Dave Stewart then colored the background dark blue.
