Star Gazing Programs
Last Star Gazing Program (Themed)
In Cities like Pune, a sight of beautiful starry sky is getting rarer and
rarer due to increasing light and air pollution. Keeping that in mind, Khagol
Vishwa arranges Star Gazing programs for everyone every month, at Pusane
Village, Tal. Mawal. Everyone from any age group can attend these overnight
programs. You can find the general schedule below.
Themed Star Gazing Programs
After arranging more than 100
Star Gazing Programs over last 10 years, Khagol Vishwa is trying to
improvise on general structure of such programs and give something new to
participants. In 2007, Khagol Vishwa arranged first "Themed Star Gazing
Program". The Theme of the program was "Safar Suryamalechi" (A Journey
through Solar System). After that, in 2008, Khagol Vishwa developed
another theme "Chandrayaan" and have arranged two programs with it
so far. At these events, environment similar to Moon was created at Pusane.
There was also an exhibition on Moon Missions and future manned base on
moon.
