Cosmic Distances
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Students often find it difficult to estimate how far their school is from their homes, so if we tell them about the distance between the Sun and the Earth, they might not be able to understand.
In the session COSMIC DISTANCES, SPACE Astronomy Camp students of Classes VI to IX understood how far the objects are in space and the vast distances involved in astronomy. They learnt about the various units of distances used in space like AU, Light-year, Parsec etc. and how astronomers measure them.
Students dwelled into the great vastness of the Space as they learnt about distant objects in this universe. From our neighbour planets of the solar system to the distant neighbours to the stars of our Milky way Galaxy, as we went deeper and deeper
in this cosmos, mysteries of the Universe unfolded. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
