How does real Moon affect people?

Moonlight is an interesting natural phenomenon that people can sometimes observe. The change in the color of the Moon when this phenomenon occurs often causes many people to wonder.

The real moon is the moon phenomenon obscured by the shadow of the earth before the sun's light, also known as the Blood Moon, is an astronomical phenomenon when the Moon enters the shape of the Earth's shadow, facing Sun.

How does eclipse affect people?

According to astronomers, rumors surrounding eclipse are numerous and sometimes confusing for everyone. However, most are just the weaving of imaginative people. However, there are still certain effects on human life when the lunar eclipse takes place.

Mr. Dang Vu Tuan Son, Chairman of Vietnam Young Astronomical Association, said that the total lunar eclipse can be completely explained by physical phenomena. Even today, the calculation of which day, which will happen is very easy for science.

"So to attribute this phenomenon to the mystical stories as well as the lack of optimism predictions is anti-scientific and harmful rather than becoming the cause of many unhealthy belief activities, adversely affecting society, " said Son.

But Mr. Son also said, in fact, the occurrence of this phenomenon is not without impact on people's lives and activities.

The Earth is subject to simultaneous gravitational effects of the Sun and Moon. At normal times, the gravitational forces acting on our planets from these two bodies are not in the same direction, but have a certain angle.

On full moon days, the gravitational force of these two bodies with the Earth is close to the middle of each other so the total force is the largest in each cycle. However, when the lunar eclipse occurred, the three celestial bodies were lined up so these two forces were almost completely identical. Thus, their total value is maximal.

At that time, it is possible to make stronger and higher tides. Even the ancient Japanese believed that the lunar eclipse signaled earthquakes and tsunamis. This is not necessarily superstition.

According to Mr. Son, many studies of scientific groups in the world show that in areas with unstable geological activities, the increase of gravity is an additional factor affecting the ability to generate geological fluctuations - causes earthquakes, tsunamis or volcanoes.

For human biological cycles, scientific studies have also shown that when the Full Moon , especially when there is a lunar eclipse, is closely related to melatonin depletion , a hormone involved in periodontal regulation. sleep and wake up. So on these days, people often find it harder to sleep. At the same time increases the ability to inhibit nerves.

However, this effect is not large, so it is not too serious for human health.

"Many statistics also indicate that the full Moon cycle and eclipse in particular have an effect on the increase in fertility rates among women. However, so far this has no specific scientific evidence , " he said. Son said.

However, all these physical effects are quite small, so in fact they have negligible impact on people's daily life. And of course, in fact, eclipse is still a very interesting natural phenomenon that people can observe.

Chairman of Vietnam Young Astronomical Association stressed, this is also an opportunity for scientists to observe more the surface of the Moon (because the intensity of the light does not cause dazzling like normal full-moon times), through that further studies the origin and activities of the Solar System where we live.
