#Aurora from #Ladakh ! This is a time-lapse of the sky taken by a 360 deg camera at from #Hanle on 22/23 April night. You can see the aurora lights due to an intense geomagnetic storm that hit the Earth. It is extremely rare to see aurora at such a low latitude! @dstindia (1/n)

Mars and Venus are passing close to each other in the sky and will be only 0.5 deg (as wide as the size of the Moon) on 13 July. The Moon will also be close to them on 12 July. This is a naked eye event, so go out and see them every evening from today. We bring you 12 posters!

Many of you in Bengaluru might have seen this beautiful coloured ring around the Sun today. This is the famous 22-degree #halo . When sunlight or even moonlight is refracted through ice crystals of thin clouds which are high up in the sky, they form an arc or even a full circle.

With a heavy heart, we convey that we lost one of our former colleagues, Prof. Rajesh Kochhar this morning. He was a colossus in the field of history of astronomy in India, and played a key role in various IAU history commissions. His scholarship & wit will be sorely missed.

We are happy to inaugurate the Creche Facility in our campus HQ. This is an important step towards equitably supporting our staff who are parents. We can't guarantee that the kids👶 won't grow up to become astronomers though! @dstindia @asipoec @fiddlingstars @PrinSciAdvGoI

This stunning 'true colour' image of the comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was taken from the HCT from our Indian Astronomical Observatory in #Hanle Ladakh. The telescope was tracking the fast moving comet, and so the background stars appear to move in a trail. @asipoec (1/n)

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) photographed by @IIABengaluru astronomers from Himalayan Chandra Telescope at Hanle, Ladakh. This comet will pass closest to Sun on 12 Jan & may be visible to naked eye by early February. It is a very rare occasion as comet will come back after 50000 years!

Our Space Payloads Group @SPG_IIA are excited & maybe a bit nervous. Their 1st #StarBerrySense is going to fly onboard @ISRO PSLV C-55 on 22 April in the afternoon. 🚀 This is a reliable and low cost device to accurately identify & measure star positions in space. @IndiaDST
