Temple of the Sun - Gujarat - India

Woven into the rich tapestry of Indian heritage, the ancient Sun Temple in Gujarat (Modhera), is a Hindu temple that is older than the Konark Sun Temple in Orissa and stands as a testament to astronomical science and artistic mastery. Dedicated to the solar deity Surya, the temple functions as an ancient observatory, strategically capturing the Sun's rays twice a year during the solar equinoxes and, on the summer solstice day, embodying cosmic knowledge and wisdom. As per the Vedas, India's ancient sacred texts, the sun is seen as the soul of the universe and the source of energy sustaining all life on Earth.

Constructed during the rule of Bhima I of the Chaulukya dynasty, it was built between 1026-27 CE on the banks of the river Pushpavati. The 1000-year-old temple encapsulates ancient India's harmonious coexistence of intricate sculptures, exquisite artisanship, astronomical science, celestial alignment, and deep-rooted spirituality.

10 Weird Phenomena Unleashed During a Solar Eclipse: A Prelude to North America’s “Ring of Fire”

As celestial bodies choreograph their cosmic dance, every now and then they align in a way that captivates onlookers from below. Solar eclipses, one of nature’s most theatrical displays, never cease to enchant. Tomorrow, on October 14, 2023, parts of North America will stand witness to an awe-inspiring “ring of fire” eclipse. As the moon slides between the sun and the Earth, it will craft a fiery halo, leaving spectators in awe. But apart from the visual spectacle, solar eclipses tend to unleash a range of peculiar phenomena. Here are ten weird things associated with solar eclipses, underscoring the oddities that occur when day momentarily turns into night.

1. Animal Behavior Alterations

Various species exhibit bewildering behavior during solar eclipses. For instance, birds may cease flying and seek refuge in nests, while daytime insects like bees and butterflies might be seen heading back to their shelters. Nocturnal animals could become active, deceived by the sudden darkness. Observations of such responses underscore the keen sensitivity of fauna to light and celestial events.

2. Shifting Shadows

As the moon inches over the sun, the usual shadows transform. They might appear sharper initially, but as the eclipse approaches its peak, unusual shadow patterns emerge. The gaps between leaves act as pinhole cameras, projecting mini crescent suns on the ground below.

3. Temperature Drop

The sun’s temporary concealment results in a noticeable temperature drop, often referred to as eclipse cooling. The extent of cooling depends on various factors including the time of year, geographic location, and eclipse magnitude. It’s a natural reminder of our constant reliance on solar warmth.

4. Baily’s Beads

Named after British astronomer Francis Baily, this phenomenon occurs when the moon’s jagged terrain allows beads of sunlight to seep through in some places while blocking others. It creates a visual akin to a string of glowing beads around the moon’s silhouette.

5. Solar Eclipse Wind

The sudden cooling during an eclipse often induces a change in wind direction and speed, creating a peculiar wind known as eclipse wind. It’s believed to result from variations in atmospheric pressure and temperature caused by the eclipse.

6. Shadow Bands

These elusive, snake-like bands of alternating light and dark slither across the ground immediately before and after totality. It’s believed that they are caused by the Earth’s atmosphere scattering the rapidly diminishing sunlight.

7. Diamond Ring Effect

A breathtaking sight where, for a fleeting moment, a single bead of sunlight remains visible as the moon covers the sun. This “diamond” sits atop a ring formed by the corona, creating the illusion of a diamond ring in the sky.

8. Corona Unveiling

The solar corona, characterized by its ethereal, wispy strands of light, is the sun’s outer atmosphere which is usually obscured by the sun’s bright surface. During totality, spectators are treated to a rare, splendid view of the corona which can stretch out for millions of miles into space.

9. Gravity Anomalies

Some studies have reported slight gravitational anomalies during solar eclipses. For instance, during the 1954 solar eclipse, a pendulum experiment in India recorded anomalous behavior. However, the phenomenon is not well understood and remains a topic of active research.

10. Enhanced Galactic Sightings

The temporary nightfall brought about by a solar eclipse allows for a brief but spectacular visibility of stars and planets normally hidden by daylight. This fleeting glimpse into the cosmos provides a wider perspective of our position in the galaxy.

Conclusion

The “ring of fire” eclipse is not merely a visual marvel, but a trigger for a myriad of bizarre phenomena that remind us of the intricate and sometimes peculiar ties between celestial bodies and our home planet. As the sky darkens momentarily, the curtain lifts, unveiling a brief act of oddities that celebrate the endless wonders of the cosmos. So, as you step out to witness the eclipse, you’re not just observing a celestial alignment, but becoming part of a tradition of awe and wonder that has persisted through the ages.

@radiomogai

can i offer a galatian term in this trying time? Phasian - soft xenic celestial energy. like the phases of the moon, phases of seasons, phases of a star's life, all things have phases, and xenic celestial energy exists throughout the cosmos, no attachment to one thing or anothrt specifically

I appreciate it and like it! But tbh it sounds like you're mixing up the galactian system and the celestial system, but I'm more than happy to make a flag for it! Love the concept!!!

In 2025, a rare celestial event called Planet Parade will occur from January 21 to 29, where Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune align in the night sky. This alignment offers a unique viewing opportunity for astronomers and stargazers.

I captured the entire “Planetary Parade” using my 11” telescope, and combined everything into one composite photo that stayed true to the angular scale of these objects.

Made entirely with real photos, I hope this composite helps illustrate the scale of these things!

Usually I don’t release work with planets in print because the planets themselves are so small-so this is a rare opportunity to get them in print. You can find the “Planetary Parade” in different crops/sizes up to 5 feet tall at the link in my bio.

In their current order in the sky (actual angle will vary based on latitude and observing time) Starting from the sun: Saturn Venus Neptune Uranus Jupiter Mars

The comet is the G3 Atlas comet there is also a comet visible in the Southern Hemisphere (although it just broke up)
