The full form of ASTROSAT is Astronomy Satellite.
An astronomy satellite is basically a really big telescope floating in space. Because it is in orbit above the Earth, the satellite’s vision is not clouded by the gases that make up the Earth’s atmosphere, and its infrared imaging equipment is not confused by the heat of the Earth. Astronomy satellites, therefore, can “see” into space up to ten times better than a telescope of similar strength on Earth. Can you guess what kinds of things an astronomy satellite would be looking at?
