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.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThis 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.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThis item was about an important day in astronomy as the Halley's Comet was sighted at the Kavalur observatory. According to Prof. K. R. Sivaraman, the chairman of the Indian Halley observation Program, the sighting on September 3 confirmed the earlier visibility in a photograph taken on August 29 by Dr. K. K. Scaria of IIA using the same telescope at Kavalur. Prof. Sivaraman also mentioned that further scientific observations of the comet would be made once it developed its tail. This is an exciting development for astronomy enthusiasts and researchers alike.
Indian Institute of AstrophysicsThis item was about conditional change occured in situation of Halley Comet. Dr J C Bhattacharya, the director of IIA, has been confirmed that there is no possibility of any biological disturbance occurring due to Halley comet. He replied to a question stating that the celestial object seen very near Halley's Comet was not a meteor. He also assured that the institute will release a detailed study on the comet after completing a study of photographs and other research work. Additionally, he informed the public about the different ongoing projects of IIA.
