S.N. Bose Astronomical Observatory
The inauguration of the Panchet Hill Observatory in January 2025 marked a pivotal moment for astronomical research in eastern India, establishing the region as a new hub for observational astronomy. Located atop Panchet Hill in the Garpanchakot area of Purulia district, West Bengal. The decision to establish the observatory was made by SNBNCBS in 2014, with land acquisition formalized in 2018.[6] The observatory is strategically located at an elevation of 600 meters above ground level and at a longitude of approximately 86° E, a position that fills a critical gap in global observation networks. Along this longitude, stretching from the Arctic Ocean to Antarctica, observatories are sparse, making Panchet Hill Observatory a major facility.[7]
