- Astronomy is not just a subject, but a passion for many. And it can be best understood and appreciated when a group of people get together to share their knowledge and views and expand on each other's observations. Our club was formed just for this purpose, and in the perfect place,Manipal University. Clear, pollution free sky and with a Planetarium in our University, presenting dome shows and holding night-sky observation sessions is simply the most exciting part of our college lives. With regular discussions, presentations and movie screenings, we hope to turn every single person into an Astro-Nut and this blog takes us a step closer.

hey nut, the article does make sense, but working in space or changing the entire phenomenon of the moon formation around saturn does not sound as a viable solution. Obviously i'll never take my girl to the moon..
