Today one unusual phenomenon is noticed. Venus was visible near the crescent Moon at 2 pm. I have tried to capture the same in camera, but due to glare of nearby solar disc, the contrast is less. I have circled the Venus to spot. Everyone who was shown, was surprised to see and couldn’t believe it too.
Hello!
Here’s a report on the 17th TAS program in series and 1st program with orphanage.
Here’s a report on the 17th TAS program in series and 1st program with orphanage.
Today we visited Mahipatram Rupram Ashram (Orphanage & school children) at Kagdapith police station, Ahmedabad.
As usual, we were accorded a warm welcome by the students and the authorities excitedly awaiting the program. Before starting the program we visited the complex where we saw, orphan babies in incubators, cradle, and in playing area. We were little upset to see the scenario.
The poster display was set up for the students to explore the mysteries of the solar system at their own pace. And we watched them peruse the information and discuss the same with their friends. Teachers took notes of poster detail too.
The program started with crescent Lunar observation. They were particularly amazed to see lava beds and craters. During the interactive session that followed, solar and lunar eclipse slide/s fascinated them all. Another wonderful thing that gave us tremendous satisfaction is that the teachers too got into the spirit of things and participated wholeheartedly in the question – answer sessions that interspersed the presentation! Especially, nearly all were noting everything that I was speaking. Questions like – ‘How big the Sun is and Why moon rises later than earlier day?’ created some interesting debates. Some exceptionally bright students like Vaishakhi Sadhu and Priyanka Leua answered my questions with amazing clarity and were awarded prizes at the end of the presentation. Both, the teachers and students, were especially keen to have us come again to give them a deeper understanding.
We acknowledge the gracious support of the following people in making this program a success: Shubhangbhai, Vijaybhai, Jigar Darji, Stephen Samuel and Urvi Vyas. We thank them all for their interest.
