This item was about John Evershed (1911-1923) who joined Kodaikanal Observatory in 1907 as the Assistant Director and became the Director in 1911. In 1909, Evershed discovered that there is radial outflow of gases in a sunspot. This effect is now Known as the "Evershed Effect". For this seminal work, he was elected to the Royal Society in 1915 and was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1916.
Evershed, JohnThis item was about the photograph of granite pillar in meteorology department compound at Nungampakkam, Chennai as seen today. In the compound of the Meteorology Department in Chennai, there is a 15-foot tall granite pillar weighing 10 tons. This granite pillar is part of the Regional Meteorological Centre in Chennai and is preserved as a monument. This is the place where Madras Observatory was existed.

Vainu Bappu, M. K.This letter was about Kavalur observatory from its genesis to its commencement in 1972. its achievements throughout the whole journey.
Vainu Bappu, M. K.The Observations conducted at Kavalur during the 10 March 1977 Uranus occultation of SAO158687 revealed, apart from the occultation by a satellite system known as the e ring, a decrease in the star's brightness near the moment when the planet's atmosphere could have triggered the occurrence. Since then, a theoretical explanation for the genesis of the a, ß, ?, and d rings has been put out in addition to the identities of these rings becoming firmly established. After thoroughly analysing the Kavalur photoelectric record, they provide several novel elements of Uranus' satellite ring system.
