There is common perception among some people that eclipse effect their predestination (Takdeer) in some way.

Imaam al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated that Ibn Mas’ood al-Ansaari said: “the sun was eclipsed the day Ibraaheem the son of the Messenger of Allaah Muhammad SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, and the people said, ‘The sun is eclipsed because of the death of Ibraaheem.’ The Messenger of Allaah Muhammad SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘The sun and the moon are two signs from Allaah, and they do not become eclipsed for the death or the birth of anyone. If you see that, hasten to remember Allaah and to pray.’” (Sahih Bukhari - 1043)

Please quote from the Quran more.

Sure, will do, but references from Hadith books like Bukhari & Muslim are also authentic.
