ASTRONOMY

Astronomy is the study of everything in the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
That includes objects we can see with our naked eyes, like the Sun , the Moon , the planets, and the stars .

What do you mean by Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang event is a physical theory that describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature. Various cosmological models of the Big Bang explain the evolution of the observable universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale form.

How Did The Earth Form And Evolve

When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun. Like its fellow terrestrial planets, Earth has a central core, a rocky mantle, and a solid crust.

What Is Galaxy

A galaxy is a system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter bound together by gravity. The word is derived from the Greek galaxias, literally 'milky', a reference to the Milky Way galaxy that contains the Solar System

What Are Constellations

A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object. The origins of the earliest constellations likely go back to prehistory.

How Do Comets Form

A comet is an icy, small Solar System body that warms and begins to release gases when passing close to the Sun, a process called outgassing. This produces an extended, gravitationally unbound atmosphere or coma surrounding the nucleus, and sometimes a tail of gas and dust gas blown out from the coma

Details About Observatries

01.Llano de Chanantor Observatory

Llano de Chajnantor Observatory is the name for a group of astronomical observatories located at an altitude of over 4,800 m in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. The site is in the Antofagasta Region approximately 50 kilometres east of the town of San Pedro de Atacama

02.Indian Astronomical Observatory

Situated in the Western Himalayas at an elevation of 4,500 meters (14,764 ft), the IAO is one of the world's highest located sites for optical, infrared and gamma-ray telescopes. It is currently the tenth (see List of highest astronomical observatories) highest optical telescope in the world.

03.University of Tokyo Atacama Observatory

The University of Tokyo Atacama Observatory (TAO) is an astronomical observatory located on the summit of Cerro Chajnantor, at an altitude of 5,640 m (18,500 ft) within a lava dome in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile.

04.Meyer-Womble Observatory

Meyer–Womble Observatory is an astronomical observatory owned and operated by the University of Denver. It is located near the summit of Mount Evans in the Arapaho National Forest approximately 60 kilometers west of Denver, Colorado.

05.Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO), located on a vast, high plain in western Argentina, is the world's largest cosmic ray observatory. It was designed to observe extensive air showers of billions of secondary particles induced by the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) in the earth's atmosphere.
