Quick Jumplinks to Navigate
Interacting with the stars is not limited to the scientists at NASA or ISRO or similar centres. If you remember, we all have grown up with this tiny doubt in the heart that how many stars would be there in the sky and are they shining only at night.
Though the physics classes have taken us to a level of understanding that there are millions of them and many other jaw-dropping features of them, still it is wondrous to look at the sky at night and gaze at those shrinking and shining creatures living always far away from us. Here are some of the alluring places in India that would let you go back to those times when we had questions about everything we see.
