Objective:
1. Astronomy.
2. Solar physics.
3. Astrophysics.
4. Atmospheric science.
Location:
Manora Peak
(elevation 1,951 m or 6,401 ft), about 9 kilometers (5.6 mi)
from Nainital, capital of Kumaon District, India.
Nainital
is situated at a high height in the focal Himalayas and away from urban
communities or other significant contamination sources. This makes it
reasonable for doing perceptions on foundation conditions and for concentrating
on the local climate, especially connections among regular and anthropogenic
follow species and environmental change. Moreover, the ARIES site can likewise
give data on lengthy reach transport of pollutants. Concentrates on lower
air elements are additionally vital around here, which is seriously missing
over northern India
Facilities:
1. 3.6m Devasthal Optical Telescope
2. 1.3m Devasthal Optical Telescope
3. 104 cm Sampurnanand Telescope
4. Solar Telescope
5. 4m International Liquid Mirror
Telescope (ILMT)
6. Baker-Nunn Schmidt Telescope (BNST)
7. Stratosphere Troposphere Radar
The 3.6m Devasthal Optical
Telescope is a clear-aperture Ritchey- Chretien built
by ARIES. The 3.6m DOT is currently the
largest reflecting telescope in Asia. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel remotely activate the Aries telescope
from Brussels on 30 March 2016.
