Abstract

The study looks at the various ways that solar and lunar eclipses affect technology, science, and society. Different elements of lunar eclipses are investigated using a combination of statistical analysis, picture processing, and astronomical observations. Important aspects of eclipse photography are revealed by statistical measurements including mean intensity, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, and entropy, which provide information about the distribution of pixel intensity. Histogram photographs taken during lunar eclipses show intensity variations between 26 and 52 pixels and between 850 and 100 Hz, with notable frequency changes observed beyond 52 pixels. Lunar and solar eclipses are very significant in terms of culture and religion, with centuries-old customs providing spiritual and symbolic meanings. The impact of lunar eclipses on temperature, ion temperature, electron number density, and neutral atom temperature is also examined in this study. By comparing these features on eclipse days with normal conditions, comparative analysis clarifies the impact of the eclipse on air dynamics and thermal properties. The report also emphasizes the effects of solar eclipses on electric grids, such as reduced solar power output, difficulties with operations, and the requirement for precautionary steps. This multidisciplinary approach increases understanding in the fields of astronomy, cultural studies, and atmospheric science by merging statistical analysis, image processing, and scientific observations with cultural interpretations.
