India’s journey in space science is a story of vision, innovation, and continuous progress. September 29 marks two remarkable milestones in this journey, reflecting ISRO’s growing capabilities in satellite technology and atmospheric research. In 1997, ISRO successfully launched the IRS-1D satellite aboard PSLV-C1, strengthening India’s remote-sensing and launch capabilities. A year later, in 1998, the Rohini RH-560 Mk sounding rocket was successfully launched to study the upp

Aditya-L1 is India’s first dedicated space-based solar observatory.Launched by ISRO on September 2, 2023, aboard PSLV-C57.The spacecraft travels around the Sun–Earth L1 point, about 1.5 million km from Earth.From this location, it can continuously observe the Sun without Earth blocking its view.
 The mission studies the Sun’s outer atmosphere, called the corona.It also investigates solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and solar winds.These powerful solar events can influenc

Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and mathematician who transformed our understanding of the universe. By improving the telescope, he discovered the moons of Jupiter and strongly supported the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus. His courage to stand by scientific truth, even when opposed by powerful authorities, made him a pioneer of modern science and a symbol of intellectual bravery. #GalileoGalilei #FatherOfModernScience #Astronomy..

Isaac Roberts FRS (1829–1904) was a Welsh engineer and successful businessman who made a lasting mark on astronomy as a pioneering amateur astronomer. He is best remembered for his groundbreaking work in astrophotography, especially his early and detailed photographs of nebulae and star clusters. At a time when astronomy relied heavily on visual observation, Roberts used long-exposure photography to reveal the true structure of celestial objects—most famously capturing the An
