Inside Mount Abu observatory, India’s eye in the sky that is hunting for Earth’s distant cousins

Astrophysicists and astronomers at Mt. Abu Observatory are using their telescopes to search for planets outside the solar system. Soon, with their newest giant instrument and its powerful spectrograph PARAS2, they will make India’s first discovery of an earth-mass planet.

Fantastic story. Need more like this.

[@reach2prasanna]

India should train school and college students in Quantum Physics, Astronomy, Space Exploration, Aerodynamics and AI with immediate effect. We've so much human resource, so much potential, if we provide the right training and direction, we can challenge the best countries in the world.

[@nihar1987]

No, instead the current government is more keen on teaching students vaastu, numerology, astrology as mainstream university courses and claiming nationalistic pride from that ancient Indian Vedic science bullcrap.

India conquers the cosmos 🙏🏼🇮🇳🙏🏼

[@vinaymaurya308]

[@varshanehra948]

Informative video👍

[@aryaaJyoti]

Good documentary!! Can you do some more on this topic as what are other telescope and that one in Space, hows that helping India in research, also if you can cover some of the financial aspect such as how much it takes to build such telescope in India and the engineering challenges to it.

[@shreya1100]

Great subject, the production quality can be a lot better.

[@anujrao1]

nice segment as always! sound guy - fix the mic please

[@subhasarkar7465]

Good work . Keep it up.

[@prabhakarv4193]

Very nice. Informative

[@Shaurya_Pant]

Great work Sandhya! You've really outdone yourself in this one. Much improvements in diction, writing and speech innotations as well. ❤

[@Shaurya_Pant]

Just get yourself a pop filter, the pop sounds are a bit distracting. (There are software tools to fix that too though.)

[@Shaurya_Pant]

Please fix the pop noises though, which come from air hitting microphone. (Buy a pop filter.)

[@rajasekhar7951]

Is there any telescope in india open to public for star gazing?

[@glennsubawalla9884]

There are many backyard astronomers in India who if guided by you can help in discovering exo planets, i too have an 8 inch RC Telescope with guide camera, computer controlled mount and all the required accessories for astrophotography and a desire to get into spectrography using a star analyser lens, to collect data , but need guidance. Don't know who to turn too. From your video the telescopes you have seem to be the RC type , can you confirm the same. It would be nice if i could get a reply , it would only encourage me.
