This item was about the total solar eclipse that occurred on 7 March, 1970. The resulting photograph shows the Sun completely covered by the Moon, with only the corona visible and, which was captured by the camera.

This fond includes an introduction exploring the Sun's significance in relation to life and activities on Earth. Additionally, it comprises five chapters covering topics such as the distance and dimensions of the Sun, methods and apparatus for studying the Sun's surface, the spectroscope and solar spectrum, and an examination of sunspots. The book is part of International Scientific Series, Vol. XXXIX

This item was about the Satyendranath Bose Medal of the Indian National Science Academy for the year 1983 awarded to M.K. Vainu Bappu. The Satyendranath Bose medal is awarded every three years to a distinguished scientist in the field of physical sciences.
