We had organised demonstrations for the public to investigate the effect of the Sun's elevation on the shadows it cast.
When the Sun was directly overhead at 12:17 today, vertical hollow tubes cast perfectly circular shadows beneath! #ZeroShadowDay #ZSD

We partnered with Aryabhat Foundation Aryabhat Foundation in #Bhopal (about the same longitude as #Bengaluru ). They measured the shadow length at our local noon, using which both teams calculated the radius of the Earth using Eratosthenes method to within few % error! DSTIndia Astronomical Soc.

On this occasion the students also learnt about the threat #satellite mega constellations & #SpaceDebris pose for astronomy through an engaging presentation given by the talented young volunteers from Aryabhat Foundation, Bhopal.
