HCAstro has achieved stellar results at AstroChallenge 2018.
We clinched overall champion trophy for the Senior Category for the first time in the club’s history. We also won the Best in Observation Round award,maintaining the gold streak from last year.

Many of us also gained fruitful experience, made new friends and expanded our horizons.

Ryan has tirelessly trained us for AstroChallenge. We thank our teachers ics and our seniors for helping us for making this achievement possible.

Night Under the Stars (NUTS) last Friday. We had a great turnout of around 40 participants, including teachers,alumni and students from other schools. Unfortunately, due to wet weather, we didn't get the chance to look at the sky with telescopes, but the rest of the event was smoothly executed. Kudos to our J1s for doing the presentations and games!

Thank you all who came for NUTS! Hope you guys enjoyed the activities. We have another NUTS in July.
