  • Bhubaneswar to witness Rare celestial event ‘Zero Shadow Day’ today

    Bhubaneswar to witness Rare celestial event ‘Zero Shadow Day’ today

    Bhubaneswar: The residents of Bhubaneswar on Sunday are getting ready to witness a unique astronomical phenomenon known as ‘Zero Shadow Day’, when vertical objects appear to cast no shadow. This event will be observed in the capital city of Odisha at 11:43 am. The Pathani Samanta planetarium has made special arrangements for people to witness this rare celestial event.

    ‘Zero Shadow Day’ is a rare celestial event that occurs when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky. During the Zero Shadow time, the vertical objects will cast no shadows on the ground. This was because the sun was at its zenith, and so the shadow was directly under the object.

    ‘Zero Shadow Day’ occurs twice a year, once in the northern hemisphere and another in the southern hemisphere. Both the astronomers and photographers use this opportunity for their own gain. Astronomers use this opportunity to study the Sun’s movements, while photographers use it to capture stunning images.

    Why does a Zero Shadow Day happen?
    The Zero Shadow Day happens two times. One falls during the Uttarayan when the Sun moves from south to north from the winter solstice to summer solstice, and the other is during Dakshinayan when the Sun moves southwards.

    Uttarayan and Dakshinayan happen because Earth’s rotation axis is tilted at an angle of roughly 23.5° to the axis of revolution around the Sun.

    Mayawati Holds Meeting Of Party Cadre From Delhi, J&K, HP

    To galvanise the party cadre ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, BSP chief Mayawati here on Sunday held a meeting of senior party functionaries from Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu-Kashmir, and Jharkhand, the party said in a statement.

    On political development in Jammu-Kashmir, Mayawati said that instead of development, peace, stability, and assembly elections that were expected from the centre, corruption and power abuse dominate the media headlines.

    “Even though all political activities there are in coma, people of Jammu and Kashmir should lay all their focus on the politics developments. The party should be fully prepared, as elections can be held there anytime,” she said. Referring to the Congress’ win in Himachal Pradesh, the Bahujan Samaj Party chief said that the change of government there proves that the common people are not passive about their problems. “The BSP should overcome its shortcomings there and strive to move ahead.”

    Mayawati gave strict instructions to infuse “young blood” in the party in Jharkhand. Referring to the ongoing power tussle between the Centre and the Delhi government, Mayawati said, “The mutual distrust, non-cooperation, and collision between the Centre and the Delhi government has affected the common public … The endless collision between the two is sad.”

    “The collision between the two governments and repeated intervention of the Supreme Court. How can it be a good example of co-operative federalism?” she asked. The Dalit leader said people were already disappointed with Congress and the BJP, and now they are getting disaffected by the AAP government of Delhi.

    She said people across the country are beset with rising inflation, poverty, unemployment, poor education, and health facilities, but the BJP government is paying no attention towards these. The politician said it was a good sign that people have now begun to express their anger a bit against all these issues in the elections.

    She said people are now waking up to the empty rhetoric, poll sops, and excessive use of religion by the political parties, and soon the course of country’s politics will change which will give the BSP a chance to contest elections on a slightly equal playing field. Mayawati also said there was anger among the people coming from the SC, ST categories over the dilution of the reservations.
