asteroids

Vishnu first began gazing up at the stars in rural Tamil Nadu with spotty electricity and dark night skies. Today, he leads a team studying asteroids at the University of Arizona!

The asteroid samples procured by Maitrayee Bose and Ziliang Jin have suggested that impacts early in Earth's history by similar asteroids could have delivered as much as half of our planet's ocean water.

Dhruv Gupta and Deshna Jain, two students of Salwan Public School, Gurgaon, have discovered new asteroids as a part of a campaign conducted by the US-based International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) to familiarise Indian students with astronomy.

After the huge success of the Mars Orbiter Mission, ISRO is now planning a mission to Venus as well. The organization has been making India proud, and there is much more to come.
