No, there is no scientific evidence to support the belief that going out during a solar or lunar eclipse will cause a child to be disfigured or die. Pregnant women can safely go out during an eclipse without any harm to their baby.
This phenomenon is called a lunar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon, blocking the sunlight and causing the Moon to appear darkened or reddish in color.
It is o.k. to view a lunar eclipse, because unlike a solar eclipse you are not viewing direct sunlight which can be harmful and blinding but rather reflected light. When viewing a lunar eclipse you would see even less light than viewing a full moon which we know is safe.
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
It would during a solar eclipse, but probably not during a lunar eclipse.

When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in alignment, it results in a phenomena known as a lunar or solar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. During a solar eclipse, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching certain regions on Earth.
A lunar eclipse is where the moon passes behind the Earth. It is only visual during the night when the moon can be seen. Hence, it will always be a full moon. The moon will have an orange-red color, due to the refraction from the sun. The next lunar eclipse will be in December 2010. A solar eclipse is where the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During a partial solar eclipse, only parts of the sun are out of view from Earth, but during a total solar eclipse, the sun is fully blocked; however, solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from certain places during certain times. The next solar eclipse will be in 2012.
