If you’ve ever looked at the sky from the countryside, you might have noticed that the sky seems so much clearer than usual and plenty of stars appear in abundance showing different constellations and patterns. While exploring the events in Delhi our exquisite research team decided to exhibit information about the astronomical science and the galaxy. Nehru Planetarium Delhi is a place where school going students get all the relevant information about space, galaxy and astronomy. It is located at Teen Murti Marg in New Delhi.
