Correct Answer - Option 3 : Nainital

The Correct Answer is "Nainital".

  • ARIES ( an acronym of Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences ) is one of the leading research Institutes which specializes in observational Astronomy & Astrophysics and Atmospheric Sciences.
  • The Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) is located in Nainital, Uttarakhand.

Why ARIES is in news:

  • Some dwarf galaxies are seen forming new stars at a mass-normalized rate 10-100 times more than that of the Milky-way galaxy. These activities, however, do not last longer than a few tens of million years, a period which is much shorter than the age of these galaxies - typically a few billion years.
  • Scientists from ARIES observing dozens of such galaxies using two Indian telescopes have found that the clue to this strange behavior of these galaxies lies in the disturbing hydrogen distribution in these galaxies and also in recent collisions between two galaxies.

  • Department of Science & Technology (DST) was established in May 1971. 
  • Its objective is to promote new areas of Science & Technology and to play the role of a nodal department for organizing, coordinating, and promoting S&T activities in the country. 
  • It works under the Ministry of Science and Technology.
