Terror From The Sky

This 1498 engraving of a bad day on the continent caught my eye on Michel-Alain Combes’ page here.  I think it is from a famous French fall of that time period.

Can someone translate the French for our readers?  [ Click the comments link below to see the translation and explanation of the engraving]

Le sixième sceau de l’Apocalypse d’après Dürer
Le grand peintre et graveur allemand Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), contemporain de Copernic, a publié une
Apocalypse en quinze planches en 1498. Celle-ci concerne l’ouverture du sixième sceau qui parle d’un grand
tremblement de terre, du Soleil qui devint noir, la Lune couleur sang et des étoiles du ciel qui tombèrent sur la Terre.
