This item was about the interview with the director of IIA, Dr. J.C. Bhattacharya, he discussed details about the Kavalur telescope installation and its capabilities. As a co-discoverer of the rings of Uranus, Dr. Bhattacharya provided insights into the telescope's design, how far we can see from it, and other aspects of the project. He answered all questions thoroughly and provided a comprehensive overview of the telescope and its potential for sky research.

This item was about the Kavalur telescope was installed at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics' field station. It was housed in a specially-erected tower with a revolving dome and was known as Asia's largest telescope. Currently, the institute is in need of a more powerful telescope to carry out comprehensive research on the sky.
