New Telescope in India

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) are developing a new gamma ray telescope in Ladakh.
It will be the second such telescope to be available globally.
The first one is in La Palma in Canary Islands set up jointly by Switzerland and Germany in 2011.
It will be located near the High Altitude Gamma Ray (HAGAR) array at Hanle in Ladakh.
HAGAR houses the Indian Astronomical Observatory operated by Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru.
It will work in tandem with MACE (Major Atmospheric Cerenkov Experiment), a gamma ray imaging telescope which is also under installation at Hanle.
It will be able to operate in bright environment like twilight hours and moon-lit nights, unlike traditional ones that operate only in dark hours of the night.
It will be used to observe and monitor spectacular celestial events like explosion of stars, falling of matter into black holes and collision of extraterrestrial objects better.
