A chance to experience the divinity of Astronomy. Take time out to go on a fascinating journey through space into the depths of our magical universe, dare to dream of the stars!

Start your stargazing post dinner and go on till 5.30 AM. The Milky Way galaxy is most visible in the summer months (monsoon months are obviously no show for a sky watch and even post October, it takes time to set in). For those who would like to sleep early, there will be tents set up (on sharing basis). If you 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, and 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 our 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. We’ll also get to see some bright satellite passes (and hopefully meteors!) with an unaided eye!
