Indian Astrophysicist

Astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan on Wednesday spoke about being named in TIME's '100 Most Influential People of 2024' list and said that she thought it was "spam mail".

Indian astrophysicists were treated to what they called the "most spectacular objects in the sky" when they discovered ultraviolet wings around the Butterfly Nebula, captured using Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) of AstroSat. A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, and gases.

Google doodle today celebrates the birth anniversary of legendary India-origin astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. Born in Lahore, in present day Pakistan, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was described as child prodigy. Mr Chandrasekhar won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1983 "for his theoretical studies of the physical processes of importance to t...

Over 70 years after Indian astrophysicist and Nobel laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar predicted that rapidly rotating stars would emit polarised light, scientists in Australia have observed the phenomenon for the first time.

An Indian astrophysicist says the recent observation by NASA scientists of giant flares of X-rays from a black hole confirms his theory that the so-called black holes are not "true" black holes but actually ultra hot balls of fire like our Sun.
