Indian astronomers have developed an algorithm that can increase the accuracy of data from exoplanets by reducing the contamination by the Earth’s atmosphere and the disturbances due to instrumental effects and other factors. This algorithm, called the critical noise treatment algorithm, can help to study the environment of exoplanets with better precision.Read More

The ‘full moon’ of May, also called the ‘Flower Moon’ will occur on May 26. This full moon is a ‘special full moon’ as this is the closest super moon of 2021. With earth set to ‘eclipse’ this celestial event, the moon will appear ‘Blood Red’ in some regions. The Moon goes around the earth in an elliptical path. The Earth is located at a point near the centre. This makes the Moon orbit the earth in such a way that it comes close to it and moves away in this orbit, as seen from earth. Read More
In the coming days, as the Sun makes its way across the sky, moving towards the north with each passing day, depending upon where one lives, the Sun will pass through the Zenith. This is Zero Shadow Day. Zenith is the point exactly above one’s head wherever one stands. Given the earth is a sphere-globe, this point varies from place to place with respect to the sky.Read More
Astronomers exploring the massive intriguing globular cluster in our Galaxy called NGC 2808 that is said to have at least five generations of stars have spotted rare hot UV-bright stars in it. Read More
As a landmark achievement in Space missions, Indian Astronomers have discovered one of the farthest Star galaxies in the universe. Sharing this information, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge), Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh said, it is a matter of pride that India’s first Multi-Wavelength Space Observatory “AstroSat” has detected extreme-UV light from […]Read More
