3. Planetariums Planetariums have long been playing a crucial role in refining the astronomical concepts of the people of India. The country now has fifty five planetariums. The highest number of planetariums, which is six, is in Gujarat, Maharashtra and West Bengal. Next to them are Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh having four planetariums. Bihar and Assam have three planetariums, while Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Punjab and Telangana have two planetariums. Other states like Goa, Haryana, Manipur, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Sikkim have one planetarium. The states which do not operate any planetarium are ten, namely, Arunachal Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura …show more content…

In 2009, Surat Municipal Corporation opened a 14.3m dome planetarium in Surat Science Centre, using the Digistar 3 projection system. In 2010, NCSM opened 8m dome planetariums in its three units – North Bengal Science Centre, Siliguri; District Science Centre, Gulbarga; and District Science Centre, Tirunelveli. While planetarium at Siliguri has a Digistar 3 system, other two centres are having SX3-MK II Full Dome systems from Immersive Display, UK. NCSM’s District Science Centre at Dharampur too installed a SX3-MK II Full Dome system in an 8m dome planetarium in 2011. In the same year Dept of Science and Technology of the Union Territory of Lakshadweep opened a 10m dome planetarium in Kavaratti using a Megastar-IIB Star Ball of Ohira Tech.

Therefore, the most amount of budget should be allocated to the Public relation department. The Public relation department is responsible...
MIT technology review article “India's Space Ambitions Soar” by mark Williams on July 30, 2007 http://www.technologyreview.com/news/408323/indias-space-ambitions-soar/
Now that Pluto is no longer included, how many planets are there left in the Solar System?
The California Science Center is located in Exposition Park, which is south of Downtown Los Angeles. General admission is free, but there are charges for the IMAX Theater and other exhibitions. The center is open every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Some of the permanent exhibitions include an interactive exhibit with live animals that shows how ecosystems interact, real aerospace artifacts that illustrate the principles of spacecraft design and regular live shows and demonstrations.
There’s been a very strong theory put out recently. It shows that when both Mars and Earth were very young, and creating microbial life, an asteroid hit Mars. So violently in fact that it ejected some of Mars back into space with it. Eventually landing on Earth the surviving Mars bacterium merged with our microbial ancestors to form DNA, the very building blocks of life. This really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. In all actuality it solidifies the notion that we were born to return to the stars. From a young age we are always looking up eyes wide. So why is it that now, after billions of years, we have opposition against the one government program who’s sole intention is to take us there.
More capital should be invested in space technology, and thereby the NASA program, in order to advance sustainable development technologies. It is undeniable that our global climate is changing because of decisions the human race made long ago. These historic moments that forever shaped our industrial and postindustrial world have been proven to have large and unprecedented side effects which now threaten our very way of life. However, space technologies and the programs that develop them are viable options in the management and treatment of these side effects. If we focus on the NASA Space Program we can see the historical proof if its usefulness in sustainable development, economic feasibility/payback, and finally its potential to solve intricate,
India, the second highest populated country in the world after China, with 1.27 billion people currently recorded to be living there and equates for 17.31% (India Online Pages 2014) of the world's population, but is still considered a developing country due to it’s poverty and illiteracy rates. As these nations continue to grow at rates that are too fast for resources to remain sustainable, the government’s in these areas wi...
1. Natural and cultural diversity : India has a rich cultural heritage. The "unity in diversity" tag attracts most tourists. The coastlines, sunny beaches, backwaters of Kerala, snow capped Himalayas and the quiescent lakes are incredible.
India is the seventh largest country by total land area, the second most populous country with over 1.2 billion people. Indian cuisine concludes a varieties of regional cuisines. Since India has 29 states and 7 union territories, each and every state has a unique cuisine and different food choice. Indian cuisine has a ridicules amount of spices, hurts, fruits and vegetables. The cuisine was heavily influenced by culture and even vegetarians. Food in India Various packaged or processed foods, including cake, cookies, candies, chocolate, yogurt and marshmallows, often contain unfamiliar animal ingredients, and may be a special concern for vegetarians due to the likelihood
Our solar system has eight planets, their moons and satellites, and they are all orbiting the Sun. The eight planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto used to be the ninth planet but IAU changed the definition of planet and Pluto did not meet the standards so it is now a Dwarf planet.
The indoor environment-first and foremost the indoor environment needs to be safe, and it needs to be all inclusive. This means that every child, no matter their age race, ethnicity, gender or abilities or special education needs, can all play. When considering the layout of the indoor area it needs to be spacious and it needs to accommodate children continuous change of interests and abilities so that children are able to grow and learn. If the indoor environment stayed the same each day, children would not be stimulated, they would get bored and they would not develop their learning. Furthermore, the environment needs to be of the highest quality, the toys need to be safe, and good enough to situmulate the childs brain. these toys need to
Space tourism involves travelling in to the space by people for leisure, adventure or investment by established space tourism businesses. It is an expensive undertaking that satisfies the curiosity of people regarding how the space looks like. Virgin Galactic is one of the emerging companies that have taken advantage of the new investment opportunity. Space environment on the other hand is likely to be affected by space tourism due to the black carbon emitted by the rockets involved in space tourism. This paper analyses space tourism and space environment in modern day. It highlights the relationship between modern technology and space tourism. It also talks about how the space is related to astronomy and the efforts by scientists to promote space tourism.
...mits information from and to the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The telescope also has two main computers that manage the commands of pointing the telescope and other functions. Goddard sends the data to the Space Telescope Science Institute to analyze it.
Visual arts refers to visual and tactile art, print and craft media, self-expression, analysis and interpretation (Edwards, 2010). Teachers play an important role in enhancing children’s creativity and supporting visual arts in the classroom.
Biodiversity refers to wide diversity found in the living components of the earth which refers to the numerous varieties of flora and fauna including those of microorganisms too. The interaction of biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem is very important aspect of life on earth. Biodiversity helps us to understand the variations among species and also how life originated on earth. Its study helps us to understand the inter-relationship between various forms of life and their adaptation to different conditions.
