The event, which marks a significant milestone as part of the organisation’s 10th anniversary celebrations will reportedly feature some of the largest telescopes. Participants will have the extraordinary opportunity to observe the Moon and various planets with professional-grade equipment.
Is there a more ideal occasion for both amateur astronomers and curious newcomers to explore the wonders of the night sky? We don’t think so! Located along Nepean Sea Road, Priyadarshini Park offers an optimal viewing location. It combines accessibility with relatively dark sky conditions by Mumbai standards.
The timing of the event has likely been carefully chosen to coincide with favourable lunar viewing conditions, ensuring participants get the best possible views of our celestial neighbour. What makes this event particularly special is its inclusive nature.
