follow like a shadow

Npnews24 Online Pune : While ‘follow like a shadow’ seems to be a common phrase in use, tomorrow, for a little while, your shadow will refuse to follow you.

Pune will be experiencing ‘Zero Shadow Day’ tomorrow (May 14), exactly at 12.31 pm.

The sun shifts northwards as well as southwards every passing day, due to which we have the concepts of Uttarayan and Dakshinayan. In this annual phenomenon of Zero Shadow Day, while crossing the Equinox, for some time, the sun is exactly overhead. Due to this, the shadow of any vertical object is exactly below its base. This creates the illusion that there is no shadow at all.

The Punekars will get a chance to observe the phenomenon in the premises of Tilak Smarak Mandir. Here, Jyotirvidya Parisanstha will help the enthusiasts observe and know more about the Zero Shadow phenomenon.
