Some Myths Associated With Lunar Events

Since earlier days there have been many myths linked with the lunar events. Many people believe that Wednesday's lunar eclipse may affect people's behavior. Many studies have been conducted by scientists to find evidence that can prove that lunar events can have any effect on the human behavior.

But the actual fact is that no such evidence so far has been found out that could prove a link of lunar events to human behavior.

According to doctors, lunar eclipse can give you a astonishing view but it cannot have any effect on one's mind.

It has been found that the link between the moon and the bad behavior associated with it originate from the words like 'lunar', 'lunatic', and 'lunacy', these words are derived from the word lunar, which is a lunar word for moon.
Some people also believe that gravitational pull of the moon is responsible for behavioral changes in humans.

Another myth associated with the lunar event is that human body contains 75% of water and when moons gravitational pull can affect water in oceans and sea, than it can also have some affect on the water present in the human body.

But scientists so far were not able to prove any such connection. However, Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Scott Bea said, "There's no solid connection that suggests the moon is influencing us. It may influence tides, but it doesn't influence our human bodies nearly to the degree that some would like to believe".

Scientists have also conducted studies examining the link between lunar phases and births, deaths, violence, seizures, and suicides, but found no connections.

Lunar eclipse occurred soon after the Sun set and the Moon rose on October 8 from Chongqing, China. NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day also featured the lunar eclipse rising over the city of Chongqing, China, captured by photographer Zhou Yannan on October 8.
