Bengaluru, renowned as India’s Silicon Valley, is set to witness a captivating astronomical event known as Zero Shadow Day on April 24, 2024. This unique phenomenon occurs twice annually for locations between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, and Bengaluru experiences it around April 24 and August 18 each year. During Zero Shadow Day, the sun aligns directly overhead, causing vertical objects to cast no shadows for a brief period. The Astronomical Society of India explains that on this day, the sun’s declination equals the latitude, resulting in the sun’s placement directly above the location at noon. Enthusiasts can anticipate this celestial spectacle between 12:17 pm and 12:23 pm, with a duration of approximately 6-8 minutes.
