The Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics - Pune

A well established and well known place for science research. I visit this place on every 28th Feb(National science day) This place is open for all on very few important days to common people.

Great place to learn Astronomy and Astrophysics .open to all on science Day .students can learn and practically see great inventions here. Clean place enviorment is too good every were is greenery good infrastructure with best atmosphere. Every science student should visit here once. Statues of great scientists are placed at all direction which is eye catching .

This Institute was good for children's to visit. Specially their research faculty is always in hight they thought himself as a newton. Never answered your questions. If you ask a some question on they can't answered in this case they may be angry upon you.

This is a place where u will be able to Learn physics in easiest way.... So much tree and cool environment

One of the finest campus in country. It was designed by the famous architect Charles Correa.

Most beautifully architectured research institution in Pune. Well known for Astronomy and Astrophysics and Professor Jayant Narlikar. Besides science day exhibitions for school and College, pendulum, sky dome, amazing library and Newton's apple sapling !

One of the best research centre in Pune, it's open every one on 28th Feb that day is Science day.

Attractively modern building surround trees and loops of like an hourglass.  So, the explanation starts from the basics of Physics of the process of star formation by nuclear fusion, the interaction between two stars, & how optical and infrared data could be useful in determining the geometry of two stars, their orbits and the presence of an accretion disk in the region of two stars. She further explained about the Roche lobes, Lagrangian points and the locations in the space where a satellite could be launched successfully. The other part of the building includes an open air grassy quad with statues of great names in astronomy. The first statue was of Aryabhata placed near a Leichhardt Pine tree (called Kadam). She taught us in addition to the invention of zero, Aryabhata was the first to give the concept of round Earth. He compared the Earth with a flower of kadam. Next was the statue of Galileo Galilei to which she cleared our wrong belief of him as the inventor of the telescope. She explained that Galileo has not invented the telescope, as it was earlier used by sailors. She also taught us that it was Galileo who concluded that our solar system is not a geocentric system. He had given the concept that like every planet the sun too rotates and the sun is not a complete fireball. At that time he predicted the presence of dark spots in the sun. Appropriately, Newton can be found sat under a banyan tree (known as a thinking tree) but saplings cut from original Newton’s apple tree are also growing nearby. He was one of the most influential scientists of that time. He laid the foundation of classical mechanics, universal gravitation & shares credit with Leibniz for developing the infinitesimal calculus that dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton also developed a sophisticated theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the colours of the visible spectrum. The last one was the Einstein popular as the scientist of the century. He had given the theory of relativity, special relativity, quantum mechanics, photoelectric effect and mass-energy equivalence. Across the IUCAA building, there was a Science park. It is a public park with lots of self-explanatory scientific playthings in it which doesn’t even requires special permissions The intellectual energy of the place is palpable, and within the serene grounds these astrophysicists are working on the new Indian Astros at – India’s Hubble Space Telescope, and designing new gravitational wave detectors for detecting black holes.
