Outreach
Sharing the Night Sky
Beyond our own star parties and meetups, we bring astronomy to schools, colleges, public spaces, and communities across Tamil Nadu — helping curious minds experience the cosmos up close.
What We Do
School Programs
We bring telescopes and guided sky sessions to schools across Chennai and Tamil Nadu — from solar system scale walks and sunspot viewing to basics of eclipses and live planet observations.
Sidewalk Astronomy
Pop-up viewing sessions in public spaces — anyone walking by can look through a telescope and ask questions. No registration required.
