Скачать или смотреть Hidden in the Mists of Time - The Travancore Observatory

The Travancore Observatory commissioned in 1837 is the second modern astronomical observatory in India (after the Madras Observatory). The observatory traces its origins to Maharaja Swathi Thirunal, who was keen on having a facility built for the scientific edification of his people. The observatory produced several volumes of astronomical almanacs, computed cometary positions, carried out magnetic field measurements, and also long term meteorological studies. Overshadowed by its own legacy the observatory now rests in a state of slumber. Except for the ruffle of occasional visitors, the observatory hill is quiet these days. This documentary tells the story of the Travancore Observatory and its history of the last 180 years.
