Our Projects

Planetarium

The Astronomy Club has undertaken the project to build a planetarium with the support of SERAI. The planetarium helps in attracting people toward amateur astronomy. It will allow us to observe the night sky, even in unfavorable weather conditions, and conduct educational observational sessions. The planetarium will have an occupancy of 15-20 people.

Horn Antenna

To encourage advanced astronomy, the Astronomy Club is building its own Pyramidal Horn Antenna. This will help us conduct radio observations and analyze data obtained, advancing our research in radio astronomy.

Maan Singh Observatory, Varanasi

Students from the Astronomy Club undertook an activity at the Maan Singh Observatory in Varanasi, where they measured various solar parameters like local solar time, azimuth, and hour angles. These explorations connect us to the ancient traditions of observational astronomy.
