I gave this talk on June 27, 2020 to school kids for Asan Vigyan but enjoyable by anyone with an interest in space or science. The kids had a raft of amazing questions on every single topic! They deeply understood why space exploration is important and quintessential. 🚀

Topics discussed include:

  • 00:51 - Telescopes of Earth

  • 06:56 - Space telescopes

  • 13:12 - Why study the Sun?

  • 19:50 - Why explore the Moon?

  • 35:57 - Threats to Earth and why we need to live in space

  • 38:40 - Why study exoplanets?

Articles referred to in the session:

  • Why explore the Moon

  • How NASA and Chandrayaan discovered water on the Moon

  • Are the Universe's smallest stars promising places for life?

  • ISRO’s Chandrayaan 2 orbiter is creating the highest resolution map of the Moon
