INDIANS KNEW ABOUT LUNAR ECLIPSE BEFORE GALILEO !

     In Kalidasa's Raghuvamsa there are references about the Lunar Eclipse!  
       Listen to these words of the Lord Rama:
       "Chhaayahi Bhoome sasino malathwe-
        naropitha suddhamatha: prajaabhi:"
       Which means, "I know that there is no dirt on the face of the moon. But people believe that there comes snake on the Moon's face and that makes some black marks on it.  In fact, that dirt is mere the shadow of Earth."
Our ancestors were aware of Lunar Eclips 2000 years before Galileo! Wonderful! Isn't it!
