The last lunar eclipse of the year, known as a "total lunar eclipse" or "Chandra Grahan," will occur today. The part of South America, Australia, North America, parts of northern and eastern Europe, and India will all be able to see this celestial event. Interestingly, this is 2022's second complete lunar eclipse; the first took place in May, earlier this year.
Moonlight is not particularly harmful, therefore it is possible to observe this phenomenon without a camera. Many Indian cities will be able to see either a partial or total moon eclipse. Ancient books and religions claim that both the mother-to-be and the unborn child's health may suffer during a solar or lunar eclipse.
Pregnant women are encouraged to take extra precautions during the eclipse to prevent any unfavourable impacts of the lunar eclipse. Here are some things pregnant women should keep in mind during ‘Chandra Grahan’.
