This item was about the research for the nobel prize of the year 1983. The Nobel prize was awarded to Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar and Flower for their work in astrophysics. S Chandrashekar's theoretical studies on the physical processes that are important for the structure and evolution of stars, and William A. Flower's theoretical and experimental studies on the nuclear reactions of matter in the formation of chemical elements in the universe, were both recognized. The prize was shared equally between the two of them.

This item was about the more information that was gathered by scientist on comet halley. Prof. U.R. Rao mentioned that ground observations and data from spacecraft launched by various countries have provided information about the size, density, topography, and tail of the comet nucleus. He praised the IIA for capturing different events of the tail through photography.

This item was about the statue of M. K. Vainu Bappu was recently unveiled in the city, marking the significant contributions he made to astronomy in India. In the mid-forties, the state of astronomical research in India was paradoxical - the country produced several top-class theoretical scientists, but observational facilities were lacking. However, within 30 years, this state of affairs had drastically changed, and this was largely due to the pivotal role played by Dr. M. K. Vainu Bappu.
