Astronomy Society Dark side of the moon
Boy-in-Charge: Agastya Bellad Master-in-Charge: Mr Rajesh Majumdar
This year the society organized several sky view sessions in the School campus. A special initiative was taken up by boys this year to invite less privileged students from associated schools to observe stellar patterns. A ‘Planetarium Show’ was organized in the MPH with a 7-metre dome structure. The show focused on the formation of the universe and its components. Some members spotted the International Space Station (ISS) once again passing over the city last November. The information about the passage is obtained from websites and through an unknown astronomer at Jamnagar who sends regular messages to the society email address.
