Astronomical Observatory
The Ashoka Universal School Astronomical Observatory (AUSAO) is a professional observatory with a High Definition telescope. It is a first-of-its-kind initiative in Nashik, where students can observe and understand the many celestial bodies and occurrences in space. The provision of world-class equipment and correct guidance ensures that students develop an interest in the wonders of space and develop a scientific temperament. We also conduct a range of DIY activities, interactive sessions and sky-watching throughout the year as a part of the Astronomy Club.
The vision of the Astronomy Club is to develop a scientific temper among students and generate curiosity among them about the wonders of the universe. Students observe many fascinating celestial bodies and understand the different phenomena like eclipses unlike ever before. It also gives them a chance to learn new scientific concepts and to handle a telescope. It is an interactive club with many activities scheduled throughout the year to keep students engaged.
