Astrophotography,  is a specialized type of  photography  for recording images of  astronomical objects  and large areas of the night sky. The first photograph of an astronomical object (the  Moon ) was taken in 1840, but it was not until the late 19th century that advances in technology allowed for detailed stellar photography. Besides being able to record the details of extended objects such as the Moon,  Sun , and  planets , astrophotography has the ability to image objects invisible to the human eye such as dim  stars ,  nebulae , and  galaxies .  Photography revolutionized the field of professional astronomical research, with long time exposures recording hundreds of thousands of new stars and nebulae that were invisible to the human eye, leading to specialized and ever larger  optical telescopes  that were essentially big cameras designed to collect light to be recorded on film.  These are the few photo...

Welcome back audience!! Ever wondered how a line can amuse you by its magnificent look? Sometimes its just a matter of excitement that something can give you! So tight your hands !, grab your telescopes !, and be ready with your cameras to capture a magnificent view of the sky in morning this week! So basically what is going to happen is that the all the classical planets are visible on the line of their orbit, well you would think that it is not a big thing, but wait! , all this is going to happen on the same time and thats the interesting part of it. All though mercury is shown here it wont be visible in the telescope or to the naked eye. Four  planets adorn the morning sky this week — the same quintet of “wanderers” (Venus  to Saturn) our ancient ancestors recognized as being different from the background stars. Head outside about 45 minutes before sunrise and you will see the solar system objects spread out across approximately 110°.  Start with J...

On Jan. 20, 2016, scientists announced the discovery of what could be a giant planet in the Kuiper Belt at the outer edge of our solar system. Nicknamed "Planet Nine," the world is a behemoth - about 10 times the mass of the Earth. It would take the planet between 10,000 and 20,000 years to orbit the sun. The evidence for existence of Planet-9. Evidence for Planet Nine was unveiled by researchers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. The scientists used mathematical modeling and computer simulations to make the find, but have not actually observed the planet directly.

PSLV-C31 Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, in its 33 rd   flight (PSLV-C31), launches IRNSS-1E, the fifth satellite of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS). The launch took place from the Second Launch Pad (SLP) of Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota.  As in the previous four launches of IRNSS satellites, PSLV-C31 uses ‘XL’ version of PSLV. This is the eleventh time ‘XL’ configuration was flown, earlier ten being PSLV-C11/Chandrayaan-1, PSLV-C17/GSAT-12, PSLV-C19/RISAT-1, PSLV-C22/IRNSS-1A, PSLV-C25/Mars Orbiter Spacecraft, PSLV-C24/IRNSS-1B, PSLV-C26/IRNSS-1C, PSLV-C27/IRNSS-1D, PSLV-C28/DMC-3 and PSLV-C30/ASTROSAT  mission . PSLV-C31 lift off IRNSS-1E IRNSS-1E is the fifth navigation satellite of the seven satellites constituting the IRNSS space segment. Its predecessors, IRNSS-1A, 1B, 1C and 1D were launched by PSLV-C22, PSLV-C24, PSLV-C26 and PSLV-C27 in July 2013, April 2014, October 2014 and March 2015 respectively. ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS!!(umm..sorry for  being  late) So at last 2015 ended a few days ago! , and I welcome you all to 2016. Sadly 2015 passed away without much event but you guys would be happy to know that 2016 will be an exiting year!! full of events and enjoyment. Here is a list of them for which I am eagerly waiting for! BE READY!!! January 9(at down):  A rare chance to see Venus and Saturn in the same telescopic field!  January 19 : The Moon will occult Aldebaran(Taurus ) but this would be visible only from North America. February 7  -  Mercury at Greatest Western Elongation .  The planet Mercury reaches greatest western elongation of 25.6 degrees from the Sun. This is the best time to view Mercury since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the morning sky. Look for the planet low in the eastern sky just before sunrise. March 8 : Jupiter at opposition—that means it’s opposite the Sun in the sky, so it’s up all night,...
