Surya Grahan after Diwali 2022, Do's and Don'ts to follow

New Delhi [India], October 20: This time, countries worldwide will witness a partial solar eclipse on October 25 and this will happen just after the festival of Diwali.

The eclipse will begin before sunset in the late afternoon and will be visible from most areas. It will not be feasible from some eastern regions of the nation, including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, as well as the north-eastern cities of Aizawl, Dibrugarh, Imphal, Itanagar, Kohima, Sibsagar, Silchar, and Tamelong, among others. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, obstructing the sun's light from reaching the earth. As a result, the moon casts a shadow on the earth, resulting in a solar eclipse.

Even for a short time, viewing the eclipsed sun with the naked eye is not recommended. Even if the moon hides the majority of the sun, it will still cause lifelong eye damage and blindness. Let's look at the dos and don'ts to keep you safe during the solar eclipse.

Do's

The most secure and recommended approach to seeing the solar eclipse is with the help of appropriate filters like solar viewing or eclipse glasses, telescopes and others.

NASA recommends wearing eye protection before even glancing up at the sky during a solar eclipse.

During the eclipse, keep your headlights on

Don'ts

It is not safe and advisable to wear conventional sunglasses instead of solar viewing or eclipse glasses.

Avoid taking pictures of the eclipse with your camera. There is always a danger that the Sun's powerful rays will hurt your eyes if you are not wearing suitable glasses.

If you aren't going to be present to monitor your children, keep them away from eclipse viewing places.

During the maximum eclipse, the Moon will hide the Sun to a degree of around 40 to 50 per cent in the country's northwestern areas. The percentage coverage will be lower than the statistics indicated above in other parts of the country.

At the time of the maximum eclipse, the Moon will cover around 44 per cent of the Sun in Delhi and 24 per cent in Mumbai.

From dawn to sunset, the eclipse will last 1 hour 13 minutes in Delhi and 1 hour 19 minutes in Mumbai. The eclipse will last 31 minutes and 12 minutes in Chennai and Kolkata, respectively.

Study finds dogs have tears when reunited with owners

Washington [US], August 25: A new study has found that the eyes of our canine companions do well up with tears at times. In fact, it happens regularly when they're reunited with their owners.

The findings of the study were reported in Current Biology

"We found that dogs shed tears associated with positive emotions," says Takefumi Kikusui of Azabu University in Japan. "We also made the discovery of oxytocin as a possible mechanism underlying it." Kikusui and colleagues made the discovery after one of his two standard poodles had puppies 6 years ago. He noticed that, when his dog was nursing the puppies, something changed in the dog's face; there were tears. Those tears don't fall as they often do in humans but they do get teary eyes.

"That gave me the idea that oxytocin might increase tears," Kikusui says. Oxytocin, he explained, is known as the maternal or "love hormone." The researchers also knew from earlier observations that oxytocin is released in both dogs and their owners during interactions. So, they decided to run a reunification experiment and see if it brought dogs to tears. First, they used a standard test to measure dogs' tear volume before and after reuniting with their owners. They found that tear volume indeed went up when they got back together with the familiar human and not with a person they didn't know. When they added oxytocin to the dogs' eyes, their tear volume also went up. That finding supports the idea that the release of oxytocin plays a role in tear production when dogs and their people get back together. They also asked people to rate pictures of dogs faces with and without artificial tears in them, and it turned out that people gave more positive responses when they saw dogs with teary eyes.

These findings suggest that dogs' tear production helps to forge stronger connections between people and their dogs. Kikusui says that the findings came as a surprise. "We had never heard of the discovery that animals shed tears in joyful situations, such as reuniting with their owners, and we were all excited that this would be a world first!"

In this case, it seems dogs produce tears in situations that humans would consider "happy." They haven't yet tested whether dogs produce tears in response to negative emotions, too. They don't know yet, either, if dogs make tears when they get back together with other dogs. They hope to learn if this response also has a social function in the dog world. But, for now, they say it seems to have clear implications for the dog-human bond. "Dogs have become a partner of humans, and we can form bonds," Kikusui says. "In this process, it is possible that the dogs that show teary eyes during interaction with the owner would be cared for by the owner more."
