Astronomy Club Teams Up with Aerospace Engineering for a Hands-on Telescope Workshop

CU Campus - Chandigarh University’s Astronomy Club, in collaboration with the Department of Aerospace Engineering, recently hosted an extraordinary event titled Galactic Gaze. This immersive Telescope Workshop provided students with the rare opportunity to delve deep into the world of astronomy, learning both the theoretical and practical aspects of telescope operation and space observation.

The workshop kicked off with a comprehensive session on the basics of telescope operation and maintenance, where students learned how to set up and calibrate telescopes efficiently. These crucial skills equipped students with the knowledge to engage in independent stargazing and contribute to future astronomical projects.

The highlight of the evening was the night sky observation session, where students got the chance to observe the wonders of the cosmos. Guided by faculty experts, participants observed various celestial objects, including distant stars, planets and nebulae, further igniting their passion for space exploration.

This event aligns with Chandigarh University’s mission to promote Space Observation and Astronomy among students, fostering an environment of scientific curiosity and hands-on learning. Through such initiatives, the university continues to push the boundaries of educational excellence, providing its students with opportunities to explore, discover and innovate in the exciting world of space sciences.

The Galactic Gaze event marks a significant step forward in CU’s commitment to offering its students unique learning experiences that blend academic learning with practical, real-world applications.
