<br />
AAAS had great time watching total lunar eclipse yesterday night. With very good binocular, we had a beautiful view of Moon. Together with it we watched Seven Sisters(Taurus),Jupiter,Orion and Cassiopeia.<br />
<br />
Also, we tried to break the myth that one should not eat while Eclipse. We had cookies and snacks.<br />
Some of the pictures we took. Its not good since we don't have professional camera.<br />
<br />
Enjoy...<br />

The peak of the shower will be between 21-22 nd October,2011. There will be moon in the sky but it is expected that one may see 20 meteors per hour from place free of light and other pollution. It will be seen after Midnight and before dawn.</div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
</div><div style="color: blue;">For more information about Halley's Comet see: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley%27s_Comet">Halley's Comet </a></div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
</div><div style="color: blue;"> </div><div style="color: blue;"> The name Orionid is given because meteors can be seen coming from the constellation orion. </div><div style="color: blue;"><br />

The research in this wing is fully academic and not a product oriented. They give training to the people and works in many areas of Computer science and Mathematics. Third speaker was Yan Xu. She is a senior research program manager of Microsoft. She talked on “Worlwide Telescope Academic Programme”,in which she gave brief introduction on how one can use WWT for academic purpose. Next spearker, Prof. T.R.Seshadri of Delhi University gave wonderful lecture. It was on “Science and Outreach at Universities” focusing more on the work which was done by undergraduate students in his own department. I got to know many things from this lecture.

One of the most fascinating is the existence of gravitational waves: small distortions of space-time geometry which propagate through space as waves!</span></div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Lucida, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Most readers will have encountered several wave phenomena in everyday life. Sound waves, for instance: a small region of air is compressed, and the fact that its inner pressure is a bit higher than that of neighbouring regions leads to its expansion. This expansion leads to compression nearby, and in this way, the slight surplus in pressure propagates further and further. Such pressure waves are produced when we talk: our vocal cords compress the air around them, sound travels as waves, and these waves are absorbed by our ears when we hear them. In Einstein's case, the situation is somewhat different, but the basic principle is the same: a slight distortion in one region of space distorts nearby regions, and in the end, there is a moving distortion which speeds along at the highest possible speed (the speed of light). Such travelling distortions of space geometry are called gravitational waves.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Lucida, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b>Link:</b><br />

The students has a complete chapter on Astronomy. It contains very basic and most general topics. So school decided to have sky gazing programme as their regular curriculum apart from their class room study.<br />
<br />
AAAS team was invited for the programme. We had wonderful night with the students. We observe and gave information on Sirius, Orion, Mars, Pleiades,Moon, Pole star,Ursa Major,Cassiopiea and discussed plenty of question coming continuously from Extra energetic and interesting students.<br />
<br />
We all had wonderful experience and leaned many new things from whole event.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">At 10:29 am on 15<sup>th</sup> Jan, we were at the college for the final planning and discussion of our educational trip. We had finalised the dates of the tour to be 17<sup>th</sup>-18<sup>th</sup> Jan much before. I already missed one chance to see full (100%) ASE and now, I was totally confirmed that this (Partial) is also, certainly, going to be missed. But we got unexpected relief and we were told to come again at 3 pm. Hurreyyy!<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I rushed towards home and started finding whatever I could, to capture the phenomenon. Finally, I, with my Camera, Tripod and Solar goggles, went to terrace. The time was ~ 11:15 am. Everybody was enjoying the kites. I placed my camera and immediately decided to put one half of the solar goggles in front of the lens and another in front of my eye. The first contact appeared around 11:26 am and maximum eclipse occurred at 1:20 pm. I was not there up till last contact. My last shot was at 2:29 pm. Then the battery exhausted. There was still half n hr left for the last contact.<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It was my first try to capture the Sun. Initially, I was worried for my camera but everything went good. All the people in my building showed great interest. They also attracted the people who initially refused, due to “non-scientific” fear. I also showed them the pinhole projection using very basic thing which we use in kitchen-A GRATER.<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">All in all it was a fabulous experience. I am quite satisfied with my first solar eclipse and first solar photography.<br />
