Guru Purnima 2020
Guru Purnima (Poornima) is also known as Vyasa Purnima marks the birthday of Ved Vyasa.[5] It is a tradition dedicated to all the spiritual and academic Gurus, who are evolved or enlightened humans, ready to share their wisdom with very little or no monetary expectation, based on Karma Yoga. It is celebrated as a festival in India, Nepal and Bhutan by the Hindus, Jains and Buddhists. This festival is traditionally observed by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains to revere their chosen spiritual teachers / leaders and express their gratitude. The festival is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha (June–July) as it is known in the Hindu calendar. [6][7] The festival was revived by Mahatma Gandhi to pay tribute to his spiritual guru Shrimad Rajchandra.

Decade of Sun
Sun is the centre of our solar system. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has been observing the Sun for more than a decade now. The SDO has collected 425 million high-resolution images of the Sun over the last decade.
NASA recently shared a 10-year time-lapse of the Sun in a video titled "A Decade of Sun". "This 10-year time lapse showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers, which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer – the corona," NASA said.
