Welcome to the Science & Space hub of India Chic Haven. Here you’ll find short, straight‑to‑the‑point articles that explain big sky events in everyday language. Whether you’re a casual stargazer or just curious about what’s happening up there, we’ve got you covered.
The big headline right now is the 2025 solar eclipse. There are actually two eclipses that year – one on March 29 and another on September 21‑22. Neither will be visible from India, so you won’t see the Sun darken in your sky. The March eclipse will shine over parts of North America and Europe, while the September one will be seen from New Zealand, Fiji, southern Australia, and even Antarctica.
Why does this matter for us? Even if you can’t watch the eclipse, it’s a chance to learn about the science behind it. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow. The dark part, called the umbra, is where total darkness occurs. The lighter part, the penumbra, gives a partial dimming.
If you travel abroad during these dates, you could catch a front‑row seat. Or you can follow live streams from observatories that broadcast the event. It’s a simple way to feel connected to the cosmos without leaving home.
Besides eclipses, our Science & Space category tackles a range of topics. Want to know why planets stay in orbit? Curious about the next meteor shower? Looking for tips on how to start a backyard stargazing setup? Each article breaks down the facts, skips the jargon, and gives you clear steps you can try right away.
We also link scientific events to everyday life. For example, during Pitru Paksha the September eclipse coincides with a cultural period many families observe. Understanding that overlap adds a personal layer to an otherwise astronomical event.
Our goal is to make space feel close, not distant. Every piece is written with a conversational tone, using real‑world examples you can relate to – like comparing the size of the Moon’s shadow to a football field, or describing the speed of light as a flash of a camera.
Stay tuned, bookmark this page, and check back whenever a new post goes live. Science and space move fast, but we keep the explanations fast‑paced and easy to digest. Got a question about a specific event? Drop a comment on the article, and we’ll try to answer it in the next update.
Ready to explore the universe without the fluff? Dive into our articles, learn something new, and maybe even plan your next stargazing night. The sky is full of stories – we’re here to tell them in plain, friendly language.
Two solar eclipses land in 2025—March 29 and September 21–22—but neither will be visible from India, so Sutak Kaal won’t apply. The March event favors parts of North America and Europe, while the September eclipse is visible from New Zealand, Fiji, southern Australia, and Antarctica. The September eclipse falls during Pitru Paksha, adding cultural interest for many families.
