In the 16th and 17th centuries, Astronomers tried to understand the motions they saw in the sky. In doing so, they invented a new way of understanding nature, what we now call science. The story of Astronomy begins with the observing heavenly bodies and it was four centuries ago a logical way of thinking about nature gives birth of modern science.

This group is dedicated for the persons interested in Astronomy and Sky Watching; to motivate the children in observing astronomical facts as a part of studying nature and grooming enthusiasts among school children, the young learners. With this motto we, the astronomy lovers of Amateur Star Hunters-OCW Astronomy , are working for years.
Any person interested in Astronomy and Sky Watching can join us to carry on our curriculum.There's no formality, only have a pure intention to work with us. When we look through a window of our room we look out the rest of the nature from our home. Likely when we look up at the stars in the sky we look out the rest of the universe from our Home Planet, the Earth. Keep in mind that we live in a spinning planet and we are sunken in air i.e. the atmosphere wrapped the planet. These make the appearances of the sky i.e. what the universe looks like seen from Earth deceiving. It was too difficult to understand what we see in the sky everyday ----- Modern science was born when people tried to understand the appearance of the sky.
