This item was about supernova, that was photographed from Kavalur observatory before and after the appearance 1987A. The supernova is seen close to the tarantula nebula, the brightest nebulosity in the photographs.

This item talks about the C.V. Raman biography. It gives a detailed description from visitors of RRI, mainly astronomers and Physicists who worked with scientific staff.

This item talks about issues caused by the termination of renowned astrophysicist C. V. Vishveshwara.

The fond contain newspaper clippings on Astronomy: Ionosphere reading of stars. This states that the Indian astrophysicists propose that the Earth's ionosphere disturbances caused by X-ray bursts (XAY BIRT) could signal stellar activity. This alerts astronomers to phenomena like Sc X1's X-ray emissions. Detecting the impact of stars on the ionosphere is challenging due to background interference, with debates on ionization and magnetic field effects. Dr. Sastri and Dr. Murthy's experimental study reveals a significant magnetic field increase during a Sc X1 flare. Understanding the ionosphere's response to X-rays, including gamma rays from catastrophic stellar events, may offer a distinctive detection method for monitoring space events, aiding astronomers in decoding cosmic phenomena efficiently.

The item was about the astronomy progress in India and the world. The evolution of astronomy in India and the world, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the development during the British era in India. Madras Observatory Genesis started navigation support for East India Company. Later, it evolved into one of the finest observatories. M. K. Vainu Bappu also spoke on how astronomy is a subject in Indian universities when it comes to the world's most developed countries in sciences.

This item was about nuclear astrophysics and one of its accomplished practitioners, Bhaskar Dutta of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, who passed away at the early age of fifty in Bangalore. The item also speaks of his remarkable achievements in nuclear physics. During his journey in the US for education and research and subsequent to his return from abroad, he started working in TIFR, followed by IIA, Bangalore.

This fond consist of the newspaper clippings on the coverage related to Halley comet.

This fond consist of newspaper clippings on the life time journeys of various scientists, astronauts, and professors from India and abroad. The articles also discuss the books that have been written about these individuals, highlighting their achievements and contributions to their respective fields.

This item was about where to get information about the Comet Halley. You may want to check out the newly started journal "Communications on Comet Halley" at the ISRO headquarters. According to Dr. M K Tiwari, the convenor of the journal, they have been receiving many inquiries about where and how to see the comet and plan observations. The journal contains data on the comet Halley and is already being distributed to planetariums, amateur astronomy associations, and science clubs. It could be a great resource for anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating comet.

This item was about the Kavalur telescope was installed at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics' field station. It was housed in a specially-erected tower with a revolving dome and was known as Asia's largest telescope. Currently, the institute is in need of a more powerful telescope to carry out comprehensive research on the sky.
