YES- Next Tuesday August 28 - There will be a Total Lunar Eclipse. Details as under:=
The second lunar eclipse of the year is another total eclipse. It is a deeper event since it is the first central total eclipse since 2000. The eclipse occurs at the ascending node of Luna's orbit in southern Aquarius. Since the Moon is 2.6 days shy of perigee, it will appear 8% larger (= 1.2 arc-minutes) than it was during March's eclipse. The Moon's trajectory takes it deep into the southern umbral shadow, resulting in a total eclipse that lasts 90 minutes. At mid-totality the Moon's centre passes just 12.8 arc-minutes south of the shadow axis. This places the Moon's northern limb only 3.4 arc-minutes north of the axis while the southern limb is 15.4 arc-minutes from the umbra's southern edge.
In the olden days, people were probably restricted from going out during an eclipse to avoid directly looking at the sun or moon and causing damage to their eyes. This tradition has persisted till date.
There is no evidence at all of eclipses causing fetal deformities or harming your baby in any way. Eclipses can be seen from many parts of the world and in many countries there is no tradition of avoiding going out during an eclipse. Here, there is a widespread belief that pregnant women should not go out during an eclipse, which means that often parents and elders may be very worried about your safety. Many women choose not to go out in order to avoid causing distress to their families. It is a matter of personal choice if you want to stay indoors or go out. However, if you are out, take proper precautions to protect your eyes if you plan to watch the eclipse.
MY IDEA IN THE MATTER IS WHY SHOULD A PREGNANT WOMAN TAKE RISK BY DOING SOMETHING WHICH IS FORBIDDEN ? IT IS BETTER TO STAY INDOORS.-

A solar eclpse takes place on a new moon and a lunar eclipse takes place on a full moon, a minimum of 2 weeks later.
