Inspired by a Bollywood flick and power of Facebook, Indian scientist builds army of e-astronomers

Members of this project have made discoveries using data from radio telescopes in India and abroad.

Here is how Indian telescope data helped solve the mystery of high-speed radiation jets emanating from colliding neutron stars

When a pair of super-dense neutron stars collided in a kilonova explosion, bursts of bright flashes of gamma rays, short gamma-ray burst are expected.

More than 40 scientists from 13 Indian institutions played a role in the observation of gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars

The Indian scientists were part of the team of 1,200 scientists from 100 institutions worldwide.

India's Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope is on track to get a major upgrade by 2018

The upgrades will allow the GMRT to have capabilities unmatched till the proposed Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope becomes operational by 2023.

NASA's Chandra and India's GMRT discover a natural particle accelerator in deep space

At least one supermassive black hole next to a pair of colliding galaxies, Abell 3411 and Abell 3412 has resulted in a natural particle accelerator.
