On March 26th, 2023, the students of Shining Star School in Peerumadara, along with their parents and teachers, participated in a stargazing program organized by the Antriksh Astronomy Club. The event was designed to introduce participants to the wonders of the universe and the different objects in it.

The program started with an introductory session, where participants were informed about the universe and its diverse objects, including the latest discoveries and mythological stories associated with heavenly objects. After this, the sky-gazing session began, and the first bright object that was visible in the sky was Venus. From there, the session became increasingly interesting, as the Moon and other stars started twinkling in the sky.

The highlight of the event was the Lunar and Planetary observation, during which students were guided by Rakesh Bisht, a scientist, and member of the Antriksh Astronomy Club. Through telescopes, the students were able to identify popular star constellations and observe the lunar and planetary objects.

Parents and teachers also participated in the event, taking advantage of the opportunity to gaze at the night sky with telescopes and binoculars. The event was a great success, and the students were able to gain a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the universe. The Antriksh Astronomy Club, which is involved in Astro-tourism and Space education, did a fantastic job organizing the event, and it is hoped that similar programs will be organized in the future to inspire the next generation of stargazers.

Once upon a time, in a small village nestled near the winding Ramganga river, there lived a young boy who loved nothing more than fishing and swimming in the murky waters. He and his friends would spend their summer vacations casting their nets in the hopes of catching a bountiful feast.
One fateful day, the boy and his uncle set out to fish in the darkness of the night. As they threw their net, the sounds of wild animals and peacocks echoed in the distance, adding to the thrill of their adventure.
Despite their efforts, the duo only managed to catch two measly fish in an hour. Frustrated, they crossed the river in search of better fishing grounds. But luck was not on their side, and they soon found themselves empty-handed once again.
As they began to make their way back home, the moon rose high in the sky, casting a bright light that made it difficult to catch any fish. It was then that they stumbled upon a strange creature lying just a few feet away from them.
Hesitantly, they approached the creature, but as they drew closer, they realized that it was a massive tiger, lying in wait to pounce on them. Fear gripped the boy and his uncle as they quietly backed away, trying not to disturb the beast.
For what felt like an eternity, they walked side by side in complete silence, not daring to speak a word or disturb the tiger. Eventually, they crossed the river and made their way through thick lantana bushes, all the while fearing that the tiger might be following them.
But luck was on their side that night, and they eventually reached a nearby village, where their faithful dogs greeted them with wagging tails and barks of joy. The boy breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was safe from harm.
From that day on, the boy never forgot the thrill of his night-time fishing adventures, nor the fear he had felt when faced with the mighty tiger. And as he grew older, he would tell the tale to anyone who would listen, always ending it with a grin and a twinkle in his eye, for he knew that he had narrowly escaped danger and lived to tell the tale.
