Moon

This is not just another brick in the wall. The properties of LSS match 99.6% with the samples brought back from Moon by the Apollo missions!

Other famous scientists who have their names etched on the moon are Dr Vikram Sarabhai, American astronomer Daniel Kirkwood and German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld.

Unlike a solar eclipse, lunar eclipses are safe for the naked eye. So you can observe them naturally. Binoculars or telescopes, however, will make the sight worthwhile!

ISRO’s second mission to the moon – Chandrayaan-2 is expected to launch later this year in October. It is primarily set to discover information about Helium 3 deposits.

The brand new planetarium has joined the list of a handful of planetariums around the world that will offer a 3D tour of celestial bodies.

The space research organisation has planned to build ‘lunar habitats,’ which will serve as an “outpost” for future missions and exploration.

Claimed to have been last witnessed over 150 years ago on March 31, 1866, the skies will surely be a treat for sore eyes with the super blue blood moon!

This extremely rare phenomenon will occur only once in our lifetime!

The mission highlights the rising importance of Asia in space, and the geopolitical reaction in the region to China's rise.

Deemed as the most ambitious moon exploration project by the Government of India till date, the mission has been developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
