Antariksha is an organization of amateur astronomers and enthusiasts based in Pune, India. We have started our work since 2011 to spread the knowledge of astronomy among the public. We always encourage people to make their own contribution to this noble cause as far as possible. Antariksha always tries to inform the public about predicted astronomical events and shares updates about the major activities and the discoveries in the field of astronomy.
In 2011, we started our own monthly digital magazine named “Antariksha” especially to create awareness about astronomy which gives skymap, positions of planets and comets and their possible visibility. Along with that we always try to inform latest updates and upcoming events from the same magazine. Then we started to show social appearance with a website and social media channels like Facebook, twitter, google plus, Instagram, Pinterest etc.
Antariksha teammates have worked since 2004 individually but clustered in 2011 with likewise thinking and objective. We conduct lectures in colleges and schools on basic astronomy and astronomical possible events in that respective period. We organize stargazing programs where we give detailed information about constellations, zodiacs and Nakshatras along with myths behind that and technical information like deep sky objects (galaxies, nebulae, supernovas, star clusters) in that region.
We always try to grow this Banyan Tree bigger and bigger so you can join us.
