Aasman

About the Event

The Sky Has Always Been Our Story. Tonight, We Read It Together.

People have been naming constellations for at least 6,000 years. Indian astronomers built the Nakshatras around the Moon's monthly path. Greek sailors used the same patterns to navigate. Farmers across the subcontinent read the sky to time harvests.

That sky is above Vasant Kunj tonight. Ek Kahani Aasman Ki is a guided skywatching session for first-timers and families. In one evening you'll find Polaris, identify your zodiac constellation in the actual sky above you, and watch Scorpius rise in the southeast. It runs like a conversation, not a class.

The sky's vocabulary

The Sky's Vocabulary

Stars, planets, constellations, asterisms, galaxies - you'll know how to tell them apart within the first ten minutes, using examples directly overhead.

India's sky heritage

India's Own Sky Heritage

Long before the Greeks named their constellations, Indian astronomers charted the sky. The 27 Nakshatras predate much of Western astronomy's foundation.

Find Polaris

Find Polaris

Learn to locate Polaris using Saptarishi's two pointer stars. It takes about two minutes and works anywhere with a clear northern horizon.

Constellation myths

The Myths

Scorpius and Orion are ancient enemies. Cassiopeia is a queen punished for vanity. The stories are specific, strange, and unforgettable.

Tonight's sky tour route
Tonight's Sky Tour Route

North to West - the Full Sky in One Evening

We start facing North and move clockwise. Each direction has different constellations up, and different stories behind them.

Saptarishi (Ursa Major) overhead, Polaris, and Cassiopeia low on the horizon. The Saptarishi never sets from Delhi. It circles Polaris all night, so once you know this, you always know where north is.

Arcturus is orange and unmistakably bright, with Bootes and Corona Borealis nearby. Polynesian navigators used Arcturus to find Hawaii across open ocean. You can see it from a Vasant Kunj park.

Vega, Altair, Deneb, and Hercules rise earlier each evening through June and July. Three stars from three constellations form a triangle that is easy to find on a first attempt.

Antares, Scorpius (Vrishchika), and Libra sit in this part of the route. Antares is the Nakshatra Jyeshtha, orange-red enough to identify once the sky darkens past 9 PM.

Spica, Virgo (Kanya), and Corvus are visible from Delhi on most clear nights. Hipparchus used Spica in 127 BCE to work out that Earth's axis wobbles slowly over thousands of years.

Regulus and Leo (Simha) close the route. Find the reversed question-mark shape, the Sickle, and you will not confuse Leo with anything else.
