Astronomy club for schools in Mumbai
Mumbai schools run on tight timetables and tighter campuses. The club needs one room and one weekly slot, and everything else, from telescopes to enrolment, is handled by Astris.
Bringing the club to a Mumbai school
Astris is based in Delhi NCR. Schools in Mumbai can request the club today: tell us your school, grades and preferred start, and we will confirm educator scheduling for Mumbai when we reply, along with a quote and the full proposal.
How it works
No cost to the school
The school gives a room and one weekly slot. Astris brings the educators, telescopes, kits, enrolment and reports. Families enrol and pay Astris directly, the way schools already host robotics or debating clubs.
Linked to the syllabus students already have
Every weekly theme is taught through the chapters each band is studying in class: EVS and early Science for Grades 4–6, Science and Geography for 7–9, board Physics and Maths for 10–12. It is never an extra subject.
Real observing, safely
Seven telescope sessions a year: four daytime solar observations through certified filters or projection, and three evening sky-watches with families, with staff present and written parent consent.
Measured, not just enjoyed
An April baseline and a February endline on NCERT-tagged questions, a logbook stamped by the educator, weekly parent notes, progress cards in October and February, and an annual report to the principal.
Mumbai’s sky, honestly
A Mumbai campus has one of India’s brightest skies, often from a rooftop between towers. The Moon, the bright planets and the Sun through certified filters are the reliable targets, and they are enough for a full year of sessions.
The monsoon is heavy from June to September and closes the evening sky almost completely, so the club’s builds and concept sessions take those months and the sky-watches move to the dry season from November to March.
Planning the club year in Mumbai
The club runs from April to February. In each city its evening sky-watches go into the clearest months, and daytime solar sessions and indoor builds carry the rest.
| Months | What the club uses them for |
|---|---|
| November – March | Dry season: the main evening sky-watches |
| April – May | Hazy but workable: planets and the showcase |
| June – September | Heavy monsoon: builds, film sessions and concept work |

Common questions
- Can a Mumbai school start the Astris Astronomy Club?
- Yes, you can request it. Astris is based in Delhi NCR; for Mumbai we confirm educator scheduling when we reply, with a quote and the full proposal.
- Is a Mumbai rooftop enough for school astronomy?
- For the targets the club relies on, yes: the Sun through certified filters by day, and the Moon and bright planets in the evening. A clear view to the west or south-west helps most.
