Nope, no worries, no effect.<br> Here's everything from science to superstition about the rare celestial event (Super Blue Blood Moon) - Go out with your family and friends, and enjoy the eclipse without fear!<br> ===============================<br> From Morning, my msg inbox has been flooded with questions from people can i see Super can i see it, i am pregnant, can i eat, i am cancerian can i see it ? I am just producing the extract of what has come in First Post. Extracts from First Post Article<br> ----------------------------------<br> There are many myths and beliefs about eclipses in every culture, including in India, which scare people into not seeing eclipses. An eclipse is just a shadow phenomenon. There is no extra radiation during an eclipse. If at all, there is less radiation than usual. There is also no effect due to gravity during an eclipse. The change in gravity due to the lining up of the Sun, Earth and Moon in a line is no larger than standing next to a large hill or next to a multi-storey building.

These beliefs can actually be quite harmful, for example, when pregnant women close to delivery refusing treatment during an eclipse, or people with health issues not eating or drinking in this period. Instead, go out with your family and friends, and enjoy the eclipse without fear! The Public Outreach and Education Committee of the Astronomical Society of India has set up a web-page for the eclipse, where there is information on eclipse timings, maps and animations, articles and videos in English and many Indian languages, as well as a crowd-sourced map of public eclipse parties across India. You can look at this map to locate the nearest eclipse watching event. So far we have more than 100 such events!

Now and then, the universe steps into our life with an eclipse and makes us aware not just of the sheer vastness of space, but also of how the seemingly unchanging sky is actually a place of <u>constant</u>
