On August 23, 2023, the Antariksh Club of Vishwakarma Institutes hosted a live presentation celebrating India’s Chandrayaan-3 lunar landing at Sadguru Science Classes in Virar. Over 50 students from Classes 8 to 12 attended, eagerly watching the live stream from ISRO’s Control Room. As the Vikram Lander successfully touched down on the Moon, the room erupted in cheers, highlighting the unifying spirit of scientific achievements. Guided by Jameer Manur Sir and supported by the school’s administration, the event emphasized the importance of collaboration in fostering curiosity and pride in India's scientific advancements.

H1 Line Emission Spectrum

On October 5th, Shrava Bhandary from the Antriksh Club of VI delivered a talk on H1 Line Emission, exploring the 21 cm wavelength in radio astronomy and its role in understanding the Milky Way's structure. The 21 cm line, emitted by neutral hydrogen, allows astronomers to peer through cosmic dust and map galactic features like spiral arms and star-forming regions. The talk covered essential concepts like the Doppler Effect for tracking galactic motion and Kepler’s Laws. The unexpected constant rotational velocity in the Milky Way's outer regions hinted at dark matter's presence, revealing new dimensions in galactic dynamics.

Formation and Types of Galaxies

On March 23, 2024, Shreyas from VIIT delivered an engaging talk on "Formation and Types of Galaxies" to 20 attendees. He highlighted significant historical moments in astronomy, including William Herschel's Milky Way illustration and Charles Messier's cataloguing of galaxies. The session featured the Hubble Classification System, categorizing galaxies as spiral, elliptical, and more. Shreyas addressed questions on the collision of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies despite universal expansion and compared the Big Bang theory with the Steady State theory. A lively group discussion followed, fostering collaboration among attendees and deepening their understanding of cosmic mysteries.
