Craters on the moon, Phases of Venus, Jupiter’s atmospheric belt & satellites, Saturn’s ring, Mars, Star clusters, Nebula (birth place of star) can be observed through the telescope from the institute's premises.

When rare astronomical events such as an eclipse, meteor shower, comet, transit, occulation or a conjuction are on the horizon, we organize special observation sessions that you can pre-book and witness the wonders of this universe in realtime.

Our experienced faculty members guide and prepare students for astronomy related competitive exams and competitions (e.g. Astronomy Olympiad exams, Messier marathon etc). Their expertise will help students improve their skills and problem solving abilities.

Research Based Astronomy Projects And Data Analysis Our experts guide students to execute astronomy based research projects. Through these sessions, students will develop an understanding of data gathering, analysis and interpretation of results.

These lectures include an in-depth discussion of : Strange facts of the solar system, nebulae, white dwarf, pulsars, black hole, galaxies, Big bang, expansion of the universe, dark energy, dark matter, warm holes etc.

We organize educational tours for students at various places such as the meteor impact crater at Lonar, GMRT, ISRO, ARIES etc. Our experts will accompany your group throughout the tour.

Celestial objects are still present in the day time, even though they might be invisible to the naked eye! It is precisely why day-time astronomical activities are a crucial learning experience for avid astronomers. Observing sunspots, sundial making, tracing the path of the sun, measuring the temperature of the sun, basic astronomical calculations and much more. Each activity is designed in such a way that it can be executed within 3 hours from your own location.

We take students on a tour of the world of telescopes right from the Galilean telescope to the James Webb telescope. We briefly discuss the telescopes covering the whole range of electromagnetic spectrum. In this session, students can learn the technique of assembling different types of telescopes (refracting tube with alt-azimuth mount, reflecting tube with equatorial mount) from experts. Students get to develop their teamwork and problem solving skills while the instructors guide them in assembling the telescope, aligning the finder with the main tube and the art of observing an array of celestial objects through different eyepieces.

This session will be conducted from the outskirts of the city, where air pollution and light pollution is minimum, the sky is pitch dark and full of twinkling stars. In this session, we will make the observer familiar with the planets, stars, constellations, zodiac signs, nakshatras, sky map etc. The galaxies, open clusters, globular clusters, nebulae and few hidden objects (Messier objects) will be observed through the specialized telescopes.
