3600 Years ago Aryabhata (476-550 AD) explained that solar Eclipse occurs when moon passes between Sun and Earth Still its believed in India that dragon demons swallows the Sun !! during eclipse .Eclipse will harm the unborn child !! The saddest part is even the educated people believe this still now . Do not believe on something blindly because its was believed by ages .Socrates said Question everything Why and How? Do not allow anyone to fool you . Those who refuse to THINK is the real fool- Periyar
