Lunar Eclipse...

Lunar Eclipse
by
Alberto Ortega Servin


On February 20, 2008 we saw a total eclipse of the Moon. It could be seen in Mexico, America, Africa and Europe.

I remember different stories about that the lunar eclipse that my grandfathers, uncles, friends, grandmother, mother, father, and seniors told me. They said that lunar eclipses are bad for animals and for women, too.

It is bad women who are pregnant because it is possible their fetus They are bad for women who are pregnant because it is possible their fetus, they will become deformed. I think it is possible because when I studied at the University my genetics teacher explained about mutations in plants and animals.


Many mutations are good for evolution. Lunar eclipses emit gamma rays and ultraviolet rays of different wavelengths. Some times these mutations are good. Others are bad for animals and plants.
Many cultures spoke about the lunar eclipse as the death of the moon, earth and sun, but other many cultures celebrate this phenomenon. For a long time, many cultures thought that one goddess was fighting with another goddess.

But in El Tecuan, Michoacán, Mexico, when my family spoke about this phenomenon, they believed it influenced our lives. For example people put a red bow on the tails of cows, mares, and goats. They did this because they thought that lunar eclipses effect pregnant animals. It is possible for the animal to abort or to suffer a loss of the babies.


Also people put bows on fruit trees and other crops because they believe the influence of eclipses are dangerous to their crops because there will be a reduction in their harvest.

Solar eclipses are worse than the lunar eclipses because radiations are more powerful. I will explain this topic on another occasion.

On February 20, 2008 we saw total Moon eclipse, it could be seen in Mexico, America, Africa and Europe; it will be visible at first.
I remember different histories about that Eclipse Lunar my grandfathers, uncles, friends, grandmother, mother, father, and seniors told me. They said the eclipses lunar are bad for animals and for women too.
It is bad women who are pregnant because it is possible their fetus, they will become deformed. I think so it is possible because when I was studying in the University during lecture about genetics my teacher explained about of this deformation in plants and animals.
Many deformations are good for evolution in plants and animals. Lunar Eclipses emits gamma ray and ultraviolet rage of different longitude wave. It is good production that makes deformation in animals and plants. Some times these deformations are good others are bad for animals and plants.
Many cultures spoke about the Lunar Eclipse as dead moon, earth and sun, but other many cultures, celebrate this phenomenon. For a long time, many cultures thought that the goddess was fighting with another goddess.
But in El Tecuan, Michoacán, Mexico, when my family spoke about this phenomenon, they believed, it influenced our lives. For example people put a red bow on tails cows, mares, a kids. They did these animals because they thought lunar eclipse happens and the animals are pregnant, it is possible for the animal to abort or to suffer a loss of the babies. Whether people not put bows on the tail of the animal, they abort still.
Also people put bows in fruit, and other crops because they believe the influence of this phenomenon is dangers for their crops because there will be a reduction in their harvest. But the solar eclipses are the most bad that the lunar eclipse because radiations are more powerful. I will explain this topic in another occasion.
