The Astrometrica- an aeronautical and a Astronomical club


Astronomy, originating from the Greek word astron ‘star’ and nomos ‘law’, is the scientific study of celestial objects such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies. It evolved quite independently in India, China, Egypt and many parts of Europe as the first observational science.

The Aersterometrica- an aeronautical and a Astronomical club by an elementary school student, who is ME!!!, Hi, I am Samridhi Shoor, the de-facto president of this club which was founded by me and my friends and my community members in 2015 and since then it has had many members, who have successfully participated in international competitions.

In the past, the Society has organized visits to the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) at Pune. Some of the members have also visited NASA for Space Camp which is organized by the Department of Science. In future, the Society has plans to take members to ISRO at Bangaluru and attend space camps in Europe.

Due generous endeavours of our community seniors and volunteers, This academy is also in collaboration with Space Club program for schools in India which aim to teach students life skills through the intelligent application of astronomy and space science concepts. Space Club is running successfully for the past 7 years in over 250 schools of Delhi and NCR



Students have the opportunity to enroll in the Space Club, which offers certification courses on astronomy and space science education at two levels, Beginners and Intermediate. The courses include outdoor scientific camps, and day and evening observations carried out within and outside our school campus. The students primarily learn science by observing and analyzing objects around them. The courses teach budding astronomers various skills including - Focusing a telescope on a celestial object, Identifying celestial objects, Identifying directions without aid,using optical instruments, such as different types of telescopes, are taught to all forms Finding local time and many more.

This academy also uses EDX Free online courses make elementary and  high students members familiar with higher level introductory concepts of aeronautics, astronomy and other related topics from some of the world's renowed universities and their eminent professors.
 
In future, a career in Astronomy and related sciences will become very lucrative, as space is seen to be the final frontier for human development.

Stellar Nucleosynthesis

Image
Element Origins After the Big Bang, the ordinary matter in the Universe was composed primarily of just two elements: hydrogen and helium. Currently, there are a wide range of elements, from argon to zirconium. These more complex elements were nearly all produced via stellar evolution processes. The formation of new elements is called nucleosynthesis . Below,  I have describe the basics of the chemistry of the Universe and how it has changed over time. Big Bang Nucleosynthesis  The star-forming region 30 Doradus. The blue stars are massive, hot, young stars. They have formed in a cluster out of gas and dust. (Credit: NASA, ESA, HST WFC3) When the Big Bang occurred approximately 14 billion years ago, the Universe was very hot and dense. Over time, the Universe expanded and cooled down. Approximately 0.001 seconds after the Big Bang, particles (e.g., protons and neutrons) began to fuse together to form atomic nuclei, dubbed nuclear fusion . Nuclear fusion process

On the occasion of the inaugural ceremony of ATL, Astronomy club got a chance to showcase our skills and knowledge about space and space related sciences where we presented hydro rockets, live meteoroid composition , exoplanet weight composition and we gave other others a chance to use see through our MISO(our beloved telescope) which was modified with an inbuilt screen with various star gaze indicators.

Primordial Chill Hints at Dark Matter Interactions in Early Universe A simple experiment has detected a signal from the first stars forming just 180 million years after the Big Bang. The observations have intriguing implications for the nature of dark matter.   The first stars began to shine just 180 million years after the Big Bang , according to new observations by a team of American radio astronomers. The evidence comes from observations of neutral hydrogen gas that pervaded the early universe. But surprisingly, the same observations show an unexpected chill in this gas — a result that could hint at non-gravitational interactions with dark matter . “This is a really cool result,” says Michiel Brentjens (Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy), who was not involved in the study. “It’s an important first step in revealing how the very early universe behaved.” For years, astronomers like Brentjens have been trying to detect the early universe’s
