May 25, 2021 The demonstration sessions were designed to help the students in getting a better understanding of the concepts covered during the lectures. The students also got to interact with ARIES scientists, post-doctoral fellows, and research scholars about various opportunities in pursuing astronomy. The present understanding of the Universe depends not only on continuous growth of observational facilities but also on the number of people utilizing the data generated from these facilities....

Share New Delhi: In 2011, the Nobel Prize was awarded to three scientists for discovering that the Universe is expanding at an ever-accelerating rate  through observations of distant supernovae. Now a team of Indian astronomers observing such distant supernovae have narrowed down the possible mechanisms of explosion of such supernovae which provide key measures of cosmological distances. Their detailed study of a supernova called SN 2017hpa, a particular type of supernovae called I a superno...

High levels of black carbon & Ozone due to forest fires turn Uttarakhand’s air lethal SECTIONS Share Synopsis By Friday, black carbon levels had gone from about 1,000-2,000 microgram per cubic metre last month, before the fires started, to 10,000-12,000 microgram per cubic metre of air. While forest fires always blaze through Uttarakhand around this time of the year, the scale of destruction this time around has been much larger.

A group of astronomers have discovered a dozen quasars that have been warped by a naturally occurring cosmic lens and split into four similar images. Quasars are extremely luminous cores of distant galaxies that are powered by supermassive black holes. This rare discovery increases the number of known quasars or quads by about 25 per cent and can help determine the expansion rate of the universe and help address other mysteries. Quadruply imaged quasars are rare, and the first quadruple image...
