Frequently Asked Questions
Landing FAQ
-
Why is the website mostly devoid of any titles or menus, and why is the blog not directly accessible?The Vyom Project is centered around the idea of discovery. We want you to feel the thrill of searching and uncovering from the very start. That’s why everything on the website is hidden, yet in plain sight. And remember, there's much more happening here than meets the eye...
-
When will the Interstellar program get launched?The Interstellar program will be launched very soon! The Vyom sites are getting ready to welcome visitors. Keep revisiting the site for updates, and sign in to become a member to receive notifications about the opening date.
-
What can I expect at the deep sky site?We aim to make your experience quiet and exploratory. We take great care to ensure a gentle, unhurried, and supportive atmosphere as you enjoy this unique experience.
-
What types of telescopes are available?We offer access to a range of telescopes from simple to high-end models. Some days, these telescopes will be focused on specific celestial objects, while on other days, they are available for free exploration. Some are camera-equipped, and others are purely exploratory.
-
What are lighted intervals?Every few hours, we switch on minimal lighting to allow you to take natural breaks, have a meal, and prepare for the next phase of the experience. Keep in mind that it takes around 30 minutes for your eyes to fully adjust to the darkness, so we carefully time these breaks to ensure you don’t miss any significant events.
-
What is the Astral Museum?As the Vyom Astrosite evolves, we are gradually building the Astral Museum, adding models and rare astral objects. Once completed, it promises to be an awe-inspiring experience.
-
Will I have a place to rest if I get tired?Yes, absolutely! We offer clean, comfortable (though modest) tents, which can be booked along with the open events. You can take a rest and return to the experience whenever you feel refreshed.
-
Is food provided?Yes, we offer simple vegetarian meals, including dinner, snacks, and breakfast, all served as a fixed menu.
-
Can I bring food from home?Yes, you can bring your own food, but you cannot dispose of any leftovers or used plates on-site, as we maintain a fully organic environment. You will need to eat during the designated lighted intervals.
-
What should I wear?Wear something comfortable—pajamas are fine! Please try to wear comfortable, closed shoes as well.
-
Is there a place to change?Change is difficult, but the only thing constant. Oh, you mean change clothes? Yes, you will have access to your reserved private two-person tents.
-
What about toilet facilities?The Vyom site has clean and comfortable toilet facilities to meet your needs.
-
Is there parking space?Yes, there is ample parking available close to the site. While we don’t offer on-site parking, we’ve arranged parking spaces very close by.
-
Anything else I should know before I visit the site?This is a dark site, meaning all lights will be turned off. The roads also lack street lights, which helps preserve the darkness for optimal stargazing. We maintain this setting intentionally to enhance the experience. Please ensure all cars are parked and switched off by 8 PM.
-
What is a Cog lab?The Cog lab, short for cognitive laboratory, is a space where enrolled gifted students engage in exploratory and developmental activities that don’t require direct observation of stars and planets. Activities in the Cog lab range from simulation films and mentor interactions to data submissions.
-
How many cognitive labs do you have?Our cognitive labs support the gifted program. The Vyom Project is carried out at eight business centers across Mumbai to ensure easy access for everyone throughout the city.
-
Do students need to bring their laptops when attending Cog lab sessions?Yes, it might be helpful if students bring their own laptops. However, all work is conducted on our systems, and laptops are only necessary for completing assignments or personal tasks.
-
How do students know when to visit the Cog Lab?Students will be notified about their Cog Lab sessions through the schedule provided as part of their program. They can also check for updates by communicating with their assigned mentors or coordinators. Additionally, they will be part of Discord groups with their respective batch-mates, mentors, and coordinators to stay informed.
-
What if a student misses a Cog Lab session?Cog Lab sessions are very flexible. They are not strictly scheduled, allowing students to plan and complete their assignments at their own pace.
-
What happens after I register my child in the Gifted Program?The Gifted Program, known as the Quantum Explorers' Workshop, follows a multi-level development plan. After you apply and pay the application fee, we will email you the assessment process and test credentials, which you can complete at your own pace. However, seats for Level 1 are limited, so completing the assessments in a timely manner increases your chances of selection.
-
Do I have to pay for all the levels at the same time?No, you only pay for the next level. You can decide to continue based on whether the program meets your child's needs and if we observe measurable progress.
-
What if I have other questions?You can reach out to us at astro@vyom1972.space, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
