Solar eclipse: The last solar eclipse of the year 2024 will take place on October 2. A solar eclipse is considered very inauspicious in astrology. According to astrology, the last solar eclipse of 2024 will be the Kankan Solar Eclipse. The solar eclipse has both religious and scientific importance.
Some part of the Sun gets covered when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. That astronomical event is called a solar eclipse. Some rare scenes are always seen in the sky whenever the Sun eclipses. One of these is also called the Ring of Fire. This time, the Ring of Fire will also be seen during the solar eclipse.
According to the scriptures, pregnant women should also take special care of some things during the solar eclipse. So let us know what things pregnant women should take care of during the solar eclipse and when and in which countries the solar eclipse will be visible.
How many types of solar eclipses are there
There are three types of solar eclipses. The first is known as a total solar eclipse. A total solar eclipse means that the Moon completely covers the earth, causing darkness to prevail.
The second is a partial solar eclipse. In this, the Moon cannot completely cover the sun; only a partial shadow falls on the earth.
The third eclipse is known as an annular solar eclipse. In this, the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth from a great distance.
Will the solar eclipse be visible in India?
The last solar eclipse of the year will begin on October 2 at 9:13 p.m. and end on October 3 at 3:17 a.m. When the last solar eclipse of the year occurs, it will be nighttime in India. Therefore, this solar eclipse will not be visible in India. At the same time, it will be seen in Argentina, Peru, South America, and other places. Due to the time of the solar eclipse falling at night, Sutak Kaal will also not be valid in India.
What is Sutak Kaal?
No auspicious work is done during Sutak Kaal, and the doors of temples are also closed. But this time, it will not happen in India.
Pregnant women should take care of these things.
1) Pregnant women should not leave the house during a solar eclipse. If you have very important work, you can leave after applying ochre paste to your stomach.
2) Pregnant women should not use sharp objects during solar eclipses. Knives, scissors, needles, etc., are forbidden. It is said that if pregnant women use these things during solar eclipses, the ill effects will come on the child.
3) It is believed that women should not sleep during solar eclipses because doing so has a bad effect on the health of both the pregnant woman and her child.
