The moon through #Meadelx600 telescope.
A telescope with a spectrometer could give you a feel of a time machine, you get to know what’s happening on a star thousands of light years away in past-continuous tense while you still don’t know what’s gonna happen next. Fascinating ? pic.twitter.com/JoJirAkLzu— Sushant Singh Rajput (@itsSSR) December 11, 2018
I learnt to dream about the stars and the moons by my mother. Tonight I’ve got some serious moon gazing to do. Probably would check out that piece of moon that I arguably now claim to own. Haha ????✨☄️????❤️#happygurupurnima pic.twitter.com/MIJBMxp5va
