Indian Astronomical Observatory

The GROWTH-India telescope at the Indian Astronomical Observatory in Ladakh recently captured a building-sized asteroid on its approach to Earth.

A 360-degree camera set up at the Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO) in Ladakh Hanle captured the beautiful light show.

A research team including astronomers from the US, India and France have studied the formation of new stars beyond the visible boundaries. The team is yet to understand how the dwarf galaxies of the past have evolved into the ones in the present day. The team includes Indian scholar Anshuman Borgohain from Tezpur University.

Astrologer Vinod Shastri practices next to the ancient observatory here, where the astronomers of the maharaja once monitored the heavens.

Astronomers, including an Indian-American, have discovered the most distant galaxy ever found - one created within 700 million years after the Big Bang.

China and India are catapulting to the forefront of astronomy research with their decision to join as partners in a Hawaii telescope that will be the world's largest when it's built later this decade. The two countries will pay a share of the construction cost - expected to top $1 billion - for the Thirty Meter Telescope at the summit of Mauna Kea ...
