Referring to myths that surround solar and lunar eclipses, the federal minister said that when man’s knowledge was very limited, superstitions were on the rise. Everything that the men liked was associated with good fortune and what he feared including eclipses was associated with torment but now science has revealed the reason behind this natural phenomena. So, the stories of superstition connected with it are also taking their last breaths, he added.
