Lunar Eclipse

Wednesday, September 06, 2006

A partial Eclipse of the moon will occur on September 7 and will be visible from all parts of India but only from a few places in Antarctica, Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe, including the British Isles.
In the past, people used to observe all traditional things on the eclipse, such as Bhajans and not touching any furniture, taking bath after the eclipse and donations. They used to believe that the eclipses happen Rahu and Ketu. Even my family used to observe part of these things.
Now the science has proved that the eclipses are nothing but the astronomical events and they are no way caused due to Rahu and Ketu. So the people's behavior towards the eclipses has changed. Now people have started looking at it in scientific way.
In India, the eclipse will start at 11:35 PM and will last till 1:05 AM. I just can't wait to see the eclipse.
