Spotlight On Indian Institute Of Astrophysics In Film By Vigyan Prasar To Mark 50 Years Of DST, IIA

Spotlight On Indian Institute Of Astrophysics In Film By Vigyan Prasar To Mark 50 Years Of DST, IIA by Karan Kamble - Jul 9, 2021 06:16 PM Main campus of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru Snapshot A film by Vigyan Prasar takes us through the past, present, and future of the Bengaluru-based Indian Institute of Astrophysics. The Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), which turned 50 years old this year, is the subject of a film made by Vigyan Prasar — an autonomous body under the Department of Science and Technology (DST) engaged in popularising Indian science since 1989. Like IIA, the DST too had been celebrating its golden jubilee year, until May 2021. The new film, released on 24 June, is an expression, among several this past year, marking a milestone for Indian science — and in particular for DST and IIA.

Rare supernova shining with borrowed energy source spotted by Indian researchers

A deep study of such ancient spatial objects can help probe the mysteries of the early universe, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) said. Supernovae (SNe) are highly energetic explosions in the universe releasing an enormous amount of energy. Such type of supernovae called SuperLuminous Supernova (SLSNe) are very rare. This is because they generally originated from very massive stars (minimum mass limit is more than 25 times that of the sun), and the number distribution of such massive stars in our galaxy or in nearby galaxies is sparse.
