This scheduled lunar eclipse is said to be special for the kids who haven’t seen lunar eclipse in their lives.

Lunar eclipse is making us feel that we exist in such a huge universe and we are just a small portion of it. The big creations such as the sun and moon have superb influence on humankind. Seeing this eclipse through our naked eye can lessen the eyesight power of a human. The full moon has powerful effect on the water in the oceans; colossal tidal waves are developed within the water because of the gravitational force of the moon.
