Have you ever heard stories about solar eclipses? Maybe about their dangers that can cause blindness, or bad omens that accompany them. But, do you know which are myths and which are facts? Let's find out together!
Myth #1: Watching a Solar Eclipse Can Make You Blind
Fact: This is the most common myth! Looking directly at a solar eclipse is indeed very dangerous, but it does not instantly make you blind. The sun's strong ultraviolet (UV) rays, especially during a partial eclipse, can still damage the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye. Over time, this can lead to permanent vision problems. So, the main point is that you should still not look at it directly, dear friends!
Myth #2: Solar Eclipses Are a Sign of Disaster
Fact: This myth is often associated with ancient beliefs. A solar eclipse is actually a normal natural event that occurs when the moon is between the sun and the earth, blocking some or all of the sun's light. It has nothing to do with disasters or other bad events.
Myth #3: Pregnant Women Are Forbidden to Watch Solar Eclipses
Fact: There is no scientific evidence to suggest that pregnant women are prohibited from watching solar eclipses. What is forbidden is to look at it directly. Pregnant women can still enjoy solar eclipses safely, for example through live streaming with special filters or projection methods.
So, how do you watch a solar eclipse safely, dear friends?
Remember, knowledge is important! Let's leave the myths and believe in scientific facts about solar eclipses. That way, we can enjoy this amazing natural phenomenon safely and full of curiosity.
