Events and Projects
Everything has a beginning, and our inception was on the 7th of December 2019, where we established ourselves as the SEDS-
chapter here at VIT-AP. SEDS- is affiliated with SEDS India, headquartered at VIT-VELLORE. The faculty coordinator, President, Vice-President, and Projects Head of SEDS-INDIA served as Chief Guests. The Cheif Guest, along with our dignitaries inaugurated the club. The chief guests along with our faculty coordinator Dr. Sudhagar Jothi explained the club's vision to the students, the roles of the core, project, and outreach teams respectively, and encouraged everyone to join this massive expedition. The message of this lecture is that black holes ain’t as black as they are painted. They are not the eternal prisons they were once though…things can get out of a black hole both on the outside and possibly to another universe. So if you feel you are in a black hole, don’t give up – there’s a way out.” ― Stephen Hawking What happens when you fall into a black hole? Is it possible to pull something out of a Blackhole? and many more such questions were answered in the event, which we hosted on our campus on 25-01-2020. The crux of the event was the reality of black holes, formation, event horizon, singularity, and the types of black holes.
Everyone is part of a connected cosmic system. Part earth and sea, wind and fire, with some salt and dust swimming in them. We have a universe within ourselves that mimics the universe outside."" The lecture by Dr. Piyali Chatterjee provided new insights and augmented our evolving understanding of solar eruptive events. Aurora graphs, Solar base, Research work in IIA, Indian missions going on and future, Coronal holes, Solar flares and all the other solar phenomenal events were discussed about. The event was conducted in collaboration with OSC-VITAP on the 21st of November, 2020.
