Tranquility Base

Imagination is being the boss of reality - creating it rather than passively taking it

Tranquility Base now has the "License to Design" using CATIA V5 thanks to Dassault Systèmes and EDS Technologies !!

The 3D model on the screen is the initial design of Telescope Transporter "Enterprise" built for the amateur astronomy club Starlight Explorers.

"Stars in a Circle" the symbol of Tranquility Base

The 5 stars equally spaced along a circle represent the 5 elements and the 5 senses which make the body and mind. Together they could represent cooperation and creativity within an individual and also among them just as 5 fingers of a hand enable so many creations.

There is one bright star in the centre representing the sun, the sustainer of physical life on earth. This bright Star is also in remembrance of the One said to be brighter than a thousand suns, the Sustainer of spiritual life.

Reporting back on the question - Do NASA and SpaceX find time bound targets helpful? OFF THE RECORD ANSWER: rocket launches are the ultimate time bound target, there is no going back, it is totally driven by time, the launch is the ultimate deadline. At Space X there is a sense of mission and passion, and no one will encourage you to take time off, since the mission has a deadline with high stakes. thanks Ramakant for the question. as for applying it to ADHD, the trick is to convince yourself that the stakes of completion are as high as those of a rocket launch. don't let yourself talk yourself down from your goals. Focus on Completion

Starlight Explorers hope to watch the Lunar Eclipse today evening from Tranquility Base at Prestige Shantiniketan.

Lunar Eclipses Lunar Eclipses occur when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and blocks the Sun's rays. A Total Lunar Eclipse is sometimes called Blood Moon.

Together we were 5 adults and 5 children watching Jupiter and its moons through the telescope on 21st Feb !! We could see coloured bands on the surface of Jupiter.

This photo was taken a day earlier using a camera attached to the telescope. Coloured bands on Jupiter are unfortunately not showing in the photo due to overexposure.
