About hundred years ago, British scientists had researched and introduced an imaginary line, which is called as trophic of cancer. In this research, they found that Ujjain city (Madhya Pradesh) falls on this trophic of cancer. Thus Ujjain is believed as one of the center points of the earth. Thus scientists regularly visit Ujjain to research and study about the sun and space. This city has one more miracle that everybody should know.
