Is watching the 'blood moom' dangerous?

 For years people have believed that looking directly at the lunar eclipse without protective gears can harm one's eyes. NASA rebukes all claims that eclipse glasses are needed to view the lunar eclipse. As per their official report, all the phases of a lunar eclipse are safe to view, both with your naked eye and through an unfiltered telescope. They say that viewing a total lunar eclipse is same as looking at the moon at any other time.

While there is lack of any scientific evidence on its effect on the health, but there are certain beliefs that people across the world believe in. So let's take a look at all the possible health effects that the Blood Moon or the Chandra Grahan can have on one's health.


As per traditional beliefs, the rays of the lunar eclipse can contaminate drinking water and it should be refilled after the eclipse is over. Additionally, even pre cooked food is supposed to go bad during the eclipse.



Even pregnant women are kept indoors during the duration of a lunar eclipse as it is considered harmful for the baby. She is also expected to follow certain dietary guidelines during the eclipse.



Lunar eclipse is also said to impact a woman's fertility. However, there is also folklore than this is also the best time to conceive a child, as moon was considered the symbol of fertility.
