Hi, I am Gaurav

Astronomy has been my hobby for more than ten years. I own over ten telescopes of different kinds and have run star parties for the public in several cities.

In House Scientist is how I want to bring that to more people: look up with us, learn how your telescope works, and build things that fly or see far.

The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.
