IIT-K students constructing planetarium
The students of IIT-Kanpur are busy these days in developing a planetarium in the new student activity centre (SAC). The maximum parts are ready but still there are few thing left to be done.
On Sunday, the students had told the ex-IITians of 1977 batch about the planetarium. They had mentioned that a sum of Rs 1.05 lakh had already been spent on it so far and the total expenditure would be Rs 1.80 lakh. For the remaining amount, the students had sought help from the ex-students, who had assured all possible help.
More than twenty BTech students have been working on the construction of the planetarium for past six months. Once the planetarium is ready, it would be first of its kind prepared by the students. Around 50 people would be able to see the Milky Way in one go.
The students have used the telescope, projector and the software to draw the Milky Way on the roof of the structure. In the planetarium, the people would get a real feel of the stars and the planets.
