URL copied Image Source : PTI/REPRESENTATIONAL Scientists from Sweden, Spain, the US, Ukraine, and India investigated an early form of photography that used glass plates to capture night sky images. An international collaboration of astronomers has identified a curious occurrence of nine star-like objects that appeared and vanished in a small region within half an hour on an old photographic plate. Astronomers collaborating across countries track vanishing and appearing celestial objects by comparing old images of the night sky with new, modern ones, registe...

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.

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 beca...
