PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE IN DENMARK
WHAT IS A SOLAR Eclipse?
For those unfamiliar with the celestial/astrological event, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth at just the right time. As a result, the moon obscures the sun, preventing its rays from reaching Earth. This whole phenomenon is known as a solar eclipse.
Solar eclipses are classified into four types: total, annular, partial, and hybrid. Furthermore, in 2022 there will be four solar eclipses, two partial solar eclipses and two total lunar eclipses, the same ratio as last year. Solar eclipses are classified into four types: total, annular, partial, and hybrid.

WHAT IS A PARTIAL SOLAR Eclipse?
Partial eclipse occurs when the sun and moon are not perfectly aligned in a straight line. The sun takes on a crescent shape as if the moon has taken a bite of it. The moon only reflects the outer part of the shadow called the penumbra on Earth.
WHEN WILL THE SOLAR ECLIPSE COME?
The Surya Grahan starts at 12:15 PM and ends at 4:07 PM, according to Indian Standard Time (IST).
According to EarthSky.org, the solar eclipse will peak around 4:41 PM EDT (2041 GMT), when the axis of the moon’s shadow cone comes closest to the center of the Earth.
The eclipse lasts three hours and fifty-two minutes. Since it is a partial eclipse, the Sutak period will not be observed in India and the customs of the Sutak period do not apply.

DO AND NOT FOLLOW
1. According to NASA, people should use special sunscreens or “eclipse glasses” to protect their eyes. Even during an ordinary day, people are advised not to look directly at the sun without a filter.
2. NASA does not recommend using homemade filters or regular sunglasses. According to the space agency, the darkest sunglasses will still let in far too much sunlight, which can easily damage the eyes.
3. People are advised to take off their safety glasses when you have turned your face away from the eclipse or when the eclipse is over.
4. Those with a special interest in space events may want to capture the ring of fire with their cameras. But scientists advise against doing this. There is a high probability that the concentrated sun rays can damage the eyes of the viewer.
5. People who are nearsighted or farsighted can wear their eclipse glasses over their daily glasses to view the eclipse.
6. Children who want to see the solar eclipse must be under parental supervision.
7. With the eclipse in place, people are advised to drive with their headlights on and control the speed.

THE DOS AND DON’S FOR PREGNANT WOMEN

Pregnant women should take a bath as soon as the eclipse is over to avoid the ill effects of surya grahan.
Eating food during the solar eclipse is considered taboo. However, pregnant women can eat fruits as the health of the baby and the mother should be a priority.
Pregnant women should avoid using sharp objects during a solar eclipse. It is a popular belief that using objects such as knives, blades, scissors, pins and needles during the eclipse can have adverse effects on the baby.

SOLAR Eclipse AND RAHU, KETU
This eclipse will be “Upchaaya Grahan” and according to astrology, Sutak Kaal only applies in “Purna Grahan”. The Sutak rules are not followed if the eclipse is “Aanshik” or “Upchaaya”. According to the historical story of ‘Samudra Manthan’, when demons took control of all three worlds, the Devas asked Lord Vishnu for help.
Lord Vishnu asked the Devas to do ‘Manthan’ or ‘Sheer Sagar’ and asked them to drink the ‘Amrit’ that will come out. Lord Vishnu also warned not to let the demon drink the Amrit or else they will become unbeatable. The Devas did as Lord Vishnu suggested. A battle between devas and demons for Amrit broke out. And then Lord Vishnu disguised himself as Mohini and left Devas on one side while demons on the other. He said everyone will get Amrit one by one. CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL STORY
