People in Bengaluru in India experienced a unique astronomical phenomenon as their shadows disappeared from the surface.
The city experienced Zero Shadow Day at 12:17 pm as the Sun was overhead on Tuesday.
The Zero Shadow was the result of Earth’s unique tilt on its axis and occurs twice a year in some parts of the world.
The unique phenomenon is observed in places between +23.5- and -23.5-degrees latitude on the planet.
As per Astronomical Society of India, the celestial phenomenon takes place near the equator which falls between Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer.
In Bengaluru on Tuesday, the Sun will be exactly overhead.
This celestial phenomenon takes place twice-a-year and all vertical objects stop casting shadows on the ground.
The next such celestial phenomenon will take place in Bengaluru on August 18.
