Hello,
The Rotary Club of Ahmedabad called us to introduce the subject of astronomy for their members today. They wanted to explore “Daily Astronomy”. Though we see sunrise, moonrise or read about the change of zodiac sign (i.e. solar or lunar movement through zodiacal constellations) and alike many phenomena which happens very often but sometimes unexplained. We do not have exact reason to understand the same.
So, today we focused the presentation on “Daily Astronomy”; here we explained members following:
- Why sun doesn’t rise everyday from same place on horizon?
- Why we see Moonrise at different times every day?
- Why the sky is red at morning / evening and blue at all other times?
- How Lunar and Solar position changes with respect to zodiacal constellations?
- Why eclipse doesn’t occur every month?
- Why we see change of season?
- What is aphelion / perihelion & apogee / perigee?
They were really amazed to know open secrets behind all these. Since nearly all members of the club were senior citizens, they enjoyed old memory of their school time. Few came forward to understand other observational aspects. It was really great experience.
