The book contains the meridian circle reductions taken from the Madras Observatory. The observation table contains the values of North Polar Distance and Right Ascension for the celestial objects in 1883.
Madras ObservatoryThe fond contains observations of the meridian circle reductions ( refers to the process of correcting the observed zenith distances measured by a meridian circle instrument ) taken from the Madras Observatory from the year 1862 to 1887. Meridian circle reductions refers to a process in astronomy and celestial navigation that involves observations made with a meridian circle instrument.

Madras ObservatoryFond provides a comprehensive overview of microscopy, covering introductory concepts and various aspects, including lenses and light phenomena. It delves into the construction, theory, and practical use of microscopes. Beginning with a historical perspective, it navigates through the significance of lenses and optics, shedding light on the interplay between light and microscopic observation. Detailed discussions on microscope construction and theoretical foundations are included.
Spitta, Edmund J.This item was about the description of minor planet named as 87 Sylvia. This was discovered on 16th May 1866 by N.R.Pogson. The comparison stars employed have all been observed with the Meridian Circle of the Madras Observatory.
Pogson, Norman RobertThis item was about the French Father Richaud made the first astronomical discovery on Indian soil. In 1689, when he discovered the double star Alpha Centauri using a 12-foot telescope in Pondicherry. He also determined the latitude and longitude of Pondicherry.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThis letter was about M. K. Vainu Bappu's critical condition after undergoing heart by-pass surgery at Munich's University Clinic.
Vainu Bappu, M. K.This item was about the 1977–1978 UGC Hari Om Trust awards. M.K.V. M. K. Vainu Bappu, an IIA scientist, was also one of the recipients of awards on this list. Along with him many scientists from different fields were also the recipent of this award as mentioned.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThis item was about the passion and determination of women like Prof. Chanchal Oberoi who pursue their interests in fields like mathematics despite the obstacles they face. In a recent interview, Prof. Oberoi shared her own experience of facing opposition when she first started studying, but her passion for using mathematics in different fields kept her motivated. It's encouraging to hear that there has been an increase in the number of women pursuing science.
