By P Nagarjuna Rao Mood Indigo in 1987 was an experience as pristine as the freshly developed photographs by its then-sponsor, Lazor – a name synonymous with the cutting-edge (pun intended) technology of photographic printing at the time. Back then, the darkroom was yielding to automation, and we Osmania University students – our team of ten brimming with enthusiasm – were armed with literary and mental skills, art, and quiz prowess. The atmosphere at the Powai campus was electric, yet simple.

    Is our moon actually a planet?

    The Moon’s relationship with Earth is crucial for stabilising our planet’s axial tilt and influencing tides, but this still does not qualify it as a planet. Hyderabad: Answer is technically no, the Moon is not a planet. It is Earth‘s natural satellite, meaning it orbits around our planet. A planet, by definition, is a celestial body that orbits a star, is spherical due to its gravity, and has cleared its orbit of other debris. The Moon, on the other hand, orbits Earth, not the Sun directly, and therefore does not meet the criteria to be classified as a planet. An object must meet three key criteria set by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), to be classified as a planet. Orbiting the sun: A planet must orbit the Sun directly, rather than orbiting another planet or object. This means it must be part of a solar system, moving around the star at the center of that system. Sufficient mass for…
