Welcome to Astro Science Institute of Mauritius

Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. It uses mathematics, physics, and chemistry in order to explain their origin and evolution. Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and comets. Relevant phenomena include supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, quasars, blazars, pulsars, and cosmic microwave background radiation. More generally, astronomy studies everything that originates outside Earth's atmosphere. Cosmology is a branch of astronomy. It studies the Universe as a whole.

Astronomy is one of the oldest natural sciences. The early civilizations in recorded history made methodical observations of the night sky. These include the Babylonians, Greeks, Indians, Egyptians, Chinese, Maya, and many ancient indigenous peoples of the Americas. In the past, astronomy included disciplines as diverse as astrometry, celestial navigation, observational astronomy, and the making of calendars. Nowadays, professional astronomy is often said to be the same as astrophysics.

Astrophysics

Astrophysics applies physics and chemistry to understand the measurements made by astronomy. Representation of the Observable Universe that includes images from Hubble and other telescopes.

Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that employs the principles of physics and chemistry "to ascertain the nature of the astronomical objects, rather than their positions or motions in space". Among the objects studied are the Sun, other stars, galaxies, extrasolar planets, the interstellar medium and the cosmic microwave background.

Planetary science

Planetary science is the study of the assemblage of planets, moons, dwarf planets, comets, asteroids, and other bodies orbiting the Sun, as well as extrasolar planets. The Solar System has been relatively well-studied, initially through telescopes and then later by spacecraft. This has provided a good overall understanding of the formation and evolution of the Sun's planetary system, although many new discoveries are still being made.

Testimonials

  • The aim of the course was to explore the experiences of my mentor and Guru Acharya Sharad Ji. Indeed, this course has acted as a great helping hand for me to review, re-evaluate and appreciate the real and subtle meaning behind the ways of life. This was undoubtedly a very enriching and fruitful experience which gave new dimensions to my outlook towards life, without forgetting the unparalleled and unmatched support of my Guru, Acharya Sharad Ji, whom I consider one of the most learned seers. Ram Ramsurn

  • Courses were very helpful for me. I got to learn a lot in Karmakand and Astrology. Thanks to you Guruji. We got to learn the mantras in proper way and how make the proper pronunciations. I learnt a lot and due to this course I am now a professional priest. Jayeshsingh Seedeehul

  • The course has been a marvellous experience for me so far. Our Guruji Acharya Sharad Ji, has dedicated himself to making us realise that the spiritual path is purely for serving others without any greed. He helped us to achieve our goals by co-relating spirituality with scientific reasons and the right precise knowledge for better understanding.
    We were also taught discipline, strictness in our life and the right way to live as a disciple. Most of all, our Guruji is very supportive, caring, and gives us the opportunity to rise and shine. The results are incredibly hearttouching because by the end of the day, when I look at myself in the mirror, I feel proud of myself as a humble and kind priest produced sorely by Guruji Acharya Sharad Pandey Bhugwant Ji who is irreplaceable.

  • I enjoyed the course and learnt a lot from it. The content is well organised and focused on practical situations. My favourite part of the course was astrology. Guruji (the tutor) is someone who is very knowledgeable and is the right person from whom to acquire this sacred knowledge. He is also supportive and gives a lot of useful advice.
    The very contact with Guruji is an experience of another dimension. During the course, Guruji has catered for our mental, physical and spiritual well being. These experiences cannot be expressed in words. Guruji is a wonderful person as he is the epitome of knowledge, experiences and love. Guruji has showed his love and experiences while teaching and he gave more than what was asked.
    Thank you is not the right compliment for Guruji but rather koti koti pranam.
    Moreover l am the happiest father because with the kripa of Guruji my son was able to complete Certificate in Karmakanda at the age of 14. We have enjoyed the course and specially the graduation ceremony in India. Veejaye Chumnah
