Human beings are curious by nature and have marvelled at the night sky ever since our Homo sapiens ancestors first gazed up into the heavens. What is on the other-side of the Moon? Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences, but modern physics and technology, coupled with observations from space, have recently generated a stupendous wave of new knowledge. Most of our earliest questions about the natu
re of the Universe have now been answered, and many unexpected, intriguing new findings have been made, findings that invite us to be both humble and bold. And one needs not be a professional astronomer or physicist to understand them. Thinkers' Nest Astronomy Club (TNAC), is an Amateur Astronomy Organization, which basically means that we people from TNAC like looking at the sky. The night sky has always provided endless fascination for both professional and casual observers. A sense of wonder comes from viewing the universe in its entire splendor, while we contemplate the grandness of nature and the apparent uniqueness of our place in it. This is why Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Today, we are still discovering more about our mysterious universe. Our purpose is to inspire and inform those with a general interest in Astronomy, and to nurture new majors in the field. To make space sciences, astronomy and astrophysics approachable to the common people and to students in particular. To change the outlook of common people towards Science & Astronomy. To change in the way science and astronomy was perceived and taught in India. For us, science and astronomy were not just subjects to be studied in a classroom, but concepts to be understood through practical training, research and guidance. To inculcate scientific temper among the students by introducing concepts of science through a process of inquiry, experimentation, and analysis so they can relate their knowledge to their own environment. Create the right fundamental knowledge required for higher education in sciences. The Society brings the students closer to the environment through its astronomy based outdoor activities. TNAC’s out of the box activities (like outdoor trips, workshops, hands-on activities) inculcate Scientific Temper & the love of science and environment amongst the students.
