All superstition. None of it has been proven. Just don't look directly at the sun and you'll be okay!

School starts here tomorrow and I have to pick up my 8 yr old niece and sit in school traffic at the exact time the eclipse is in full effect here and I don't want to take my baby out to do it. I'll just have to shield her eyes like I do the sun every other day. :/

The news here said if youre late in your pregnancy then its not a good idea to be outside because the moon has a gravitational pull on all water including that of a pregnant woman and if your cervix is ripe it can break your water

Babies and animals may look at the sun and become blind. So, it's best to keep them inside and away from the windows while the eclipse is happening. Same goes for you- don't look at the sun unless you have the special glasses.

@vs0221580 well if your dog looks at it, it can go blind. That's not a superstition.

I was told that I needed to put blankets over my windows and not allow my dog outside. I was like uhhh what??

I heard some of the same things. We wouldn't know really because they don't happen too often.
