of the Sun which happens when the Moon is too far from the Earth.

Lunar Eclipse

3 Types:

1. Total Lunar Eclipse

- Often referred as the “Blood Moon.”

2. Partial Lunar Eclipse

There are many questions regarding whether how solar eclipse and lunar eclipse

affect us and is it safe to look at it?

- It is said that we might experience fear, apprehension, or unease and it is

not safe to look at the solar eclipse because it can harm our eyes but you

can use a specialized eye protection so that you can view it. In a lunar

eclipse, it is safe to look at it without any eye protection.
