Have you ever wondered how to capture stunning images of the night sky ⭐ with your smartphone?

Join us in this beginner-friendly session of Night Under the Stars.
You will learn the basics of mobile astrophotography, including how to take long exposure photos, use astrophotography apps, and find interesting objects in the night sky. We will also have a small hands-on session.

Registration is open here: https://rb.gy/958syu

Another super outreach event at our observatory. We explored the unknown mysteries of the Cosmos. Many things to learn and many questions to ask.

Looking forward for your participation in the future event :)

Since the very beginning, mankind has always gazed upon the stars to understand its origins. Our journey towards understanding our cosmic roots has now led us even closer to the very beginning of our Universe. In this talk, we invite you on a journey exploring humanity's biggest revelations about the Universe in the past centuries and the mysteries that still continue to baffle us today! See you this Friday at the observatory @ 6pm!

The clouds let us down today :P, but nonetheless we had a fantastic event that started with an enthralling talk by Ashutosh on Sun and coronal mass ejections, followed by a wonderful tour by Sagar and an exciting telescope description by Goutham.

We look forward to you guys to come at our next event. Follow the page for details. Hope the sky is clear, if not be sure to be amazed by the mysteries of the universe.

See you soon and never stop questioning and falling in love with the wonders of science :)

Space surrounding Earth is pure Vacuum and is void of any particles" It's one of the most common misconceptions. The interplanetary space is filled with charged particles emitted from Sun at supersonic speeds. And not just that, Our Sun also ejects dense clouds of plasma with magnetic field locked into them. These Violent expulsions from Sun shape the weather of our interplanetary neighbourhood. These catastrophic space weather events can hamper our space-borne instruments and the technologies reliant on them, e.g., GPS, meteorological forecasting, telecommunication, etc. They can even lead to power grid failure and damage the oil pipelines spread across countries. In this talk, we will explore our current understanding of such extreme space weather events and discuss how we forecast them.

See you at the Astronomical Observatory of Jagiellonian University on 30th June! It will be followed up by a walk around the observatory and an observation session, if the weather permits.
