About the Event

The cosmos on the grandest scale that you know of is a network of billions of galaxies.


The observable universe is a spherical region of the universe comprising all matter that can be observed from Earth at the present time. There is a limit of how far one can see in space time. Beyond the horizon, there are parts that are too far away. There hasn't been enough time in the 13.8 billion year history of the universe for their light to reach here.


Ever thought about how the man who discovered the universe in the year 1600 without the help of technology or a telescope? Take a time-out to go on a fascinating journey through space into the depths of the magical universe!


This stargazing night has been organized in association with Jyotirvidya Parisanstha (JVP) on Saturday, December 16th, at Nasrapur farmhouse.


Kindly note: The star gazing activity starts post dinner and will go on till 7:30 AM. The Milky Way is highly visible in the summer months. Those who would like to sleep early, there will be tents set up for you to sleep in (on sharing basis), others who wish to stay awake throughout, kindly get enough rest during the day on Saturday or prepare to get rest once you head back on Sunday.

The event will have following segments
1. Sky shows (total 3): One of the JVP experts will explain to participants about stars, planets, constellations, Raashis, Nakshatras, their mythological stories as well as interesting scientific information
2. Telescope sessions (total 4): Through JVP’s telescopes, participants will get to see mind-blowing views of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and some deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula, beehive cluster, Omega Centauri cluster, Ring nebula, Hercules cluster, etc.
3. Software demo: One of the experts will demonstrate a free planetarium software that you can use with your laptops, tablets or cellphones.
4. Fun time: Astro-antakshari/word puzzle.
5. You’ll also get to see some bright satellite passes (and hopefully meteors!) with an unaided eye!
If you like seeing yourself as part of a bigger picture, with a sense of wonder, and just love being out at night, join in for a slumber party under the stars.
