 ASTRONOMY
Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects, such as stars, planets, and galaxies, as
well as their properties and interactions. It seeks to understand the origin, evolution, and
structure of the universe through observation and theoretical models. By exploring the
cosmos, astronomy reveals the beauty and complexity of the cosmos.

"Astronomy: where the wonder of the universe meets the

curiosity of the mind."
Indian Space Program
The Indian Space Program, led by the Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO), focuses on advancing space exploration, satellite
technology, and space research for national development.

With notable achievements like the Mars Orbiter Mission and

Chandrayaan missions, it symbolizes India's ambition and prowess in
space exploration on a global scale.
