How does the eclipse feel?Scientific view
The lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon. In this case, the earth’s shadow is located on the moon and the moon is completely covered or partial. This phenomenon can only occur when the moon is in the full size, that is, the night of the full moon.
When the Earth’s shadow is completely covered, it is called “complete lunar eclipse”. At this time, sunlight passes through the Earth’s atmosphere and has a red shade on the moon. For this reason, the moon appears light red at the time, which is called “Blood Moon” in the common language. This is a natural process for scientists, as there is no secret or fear.
In India, the lunar eclipse is not just an astronomical event, but it is also seen from a religious and back perspective. According to myths, two of Asuras is called Rahu and Ketu the enemies of the moon and the sun. These two are believed to try to swallow the moon and that this process is called the lunar eclipse.
Many people consider the lunar eclipse. During this time, some special rules are followed. For example, the food should not be prepared at this time, and the food that is previously done should not be eaten during the eclipse period. The house temples remain closed and Puja is stopped. But chanting riches and meditation is auspicious.
Shortly and after the eclipse, the time is called “Sutak”. During this time, pregnant women are advised to be particularly careful. It is advised not to get out of the house, stay away from sharp things and relax. (Leave responsibility: The information and information contained in this article is based on general recognition.
