| Abstract: | MOST children would have wondered at amazement at
those little, diamond-like objects shining in the night sky. As they grow up
only a few retain that sense of wonder and still fewer probe deeper into the
mysteries that abound. This is the story of one such boy – M.K. Vainu Bappu –
who went on to be fondly remembered as the “father of modern Indian astronomy”. |
