As part of the 70 Year Platinum Jubilee celebration of DAE, IPR organized a solar observation event at the "Gyanostav 2024". This event was organized by the Charutar Vidya Mandal University, Vallabh Vidyanagar, Anand (Gujarat) on 4th January, 2024.

IPR's solar telescope with high resolution H-Alpha filter was used for this event. Students not only viewed the details of the surface of the sun with the telescope, but also were given information about the telescope, solar imaging techniques, H-alpha filters etc, during the course of the event.

Over 1000 students and general public got an opportunity to view the surface of the sun and observe sunspots, filaments, phages and prominences. IPR staff explained these phenomenon as well as the working of the solar telescope with emphasis on how to safely observe the sun to the visitors.

The event was coordinated by Dr. Foram Joshi of CVM University.
