We spotted the Comet C/2023 A3, also known as Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, a long period comet having an orbit = 80,000 years (means will return after 80k yrs) and came from Oort cloud and we saw it going back to Oort cloud.
My photos of the Comet C/2023 A3, also known as Tsuchinshan-ATLAS are here:

Workshop on International Day of Light 2023 - Celebrating Light as a ray of Hope & Inspiration.
The extraordinary beauty of nature that results from the interaction of light and clouds in the state of Meghalaya translates the state into the “Abode of Clouds”. The University of Science & Technology Meghalaya (USTM), which is located in such a lovely setting surrounded by peaceful greenery on the Assam-Meghalaya border of India, is spreading LIGHT of education throughout society. Recently, USTM has been awarded the accreditation rating of “A Grade” in its first cycle of assessment by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council of India, and also stood among the best 200 universities recorded by National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF). With a goal of exploration of Basic Science for Sustainable Development, USTM is planning to celebrate the International Day of Light (IDL) on February 11, 2023 at university campus. The events of the celebration include a Photography Competition focusing on the theme “Beauty of Light in Society”, webinar to be delivered from Dr. Hashima Hasan, Deputy Program Scientist, JWST, NASA HQ with Prof. Arvinder A. Ansari, Director, CSEIP, Jamia Millia Islamia”, and a sky observation session through telescopes. Winners of the competition shall be awarded with prizes. This keen effort by USTM, especially by the Department of Physics is not only aimed to popularize the research on fundamental science, but also to guide the young generation to apply the research outputs for sustainable developments in society.
