About this blog

Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) have made an extraordinary discovery. They identified a vampire star in the star cluster M67, located in the constellation Cancer. This discovery, using data from the UltraViolet Imaging Telescope on board AstroSat, India’s first dedicated space observatory, marks a significant advancement in astrophysical research.
