What efforts will you make to remove the misconceptions about eclipses?

Answer 1

• Social media such as newspapers, TV, radio, etc. should launch some programmes and debates discussing the myths existing related to eclipses. These mediums should highlight the superstitious talks prevailing from the past and how we can remove this. These mediums should discuss why science does not support these misconceptions.
• At the school level, a discussion should be held in classrooms regarding these misconceptions. They should be asked whether they have seen such things existing in their home. If yes, they should be taught how to change the mindset of their parents and grandparents to eradicate these misconceptions.
