It is a Diwali tradition at IUCAA that second year students will choose the annual theme, and decorate IUCAA with traditional diyas and rangoli, but with a contemporary twist. All students and postdocs at IUCAA team up to create this Diwali magic.
Happy Deepavali everybody!
Happy Deepavali everybody!
This year's Nobel Prize is depicted by two thousand oil lamps (diyas) in the @iucaapune Kund. In the upper half are some of the stellar orbits around the #SupermassiveBlackHole at the centre of our Galaxy that got #AndreaGhez and #ReinhardGenzel the #NobelPrizePhysics this year.
At the bottom left is an example if a #PenroseDiagram, one of the neat mathematical tools created by #RogerPenrose another #NobelLaureate this year
One of the two big rangolis is a tribute to Professor #GovindSwarup who passed away this year. This creation represents one of the #GMRT antennae, along with his autograph, taken from the IUCAA Guest Book.
