Contact Krishnadas

From early childhood, Krishnadas Kootale has been amazed by the universe. Everything about astronomy excites him, from the universe at its grandest scale to its tiniest, the enigmatic expansion of the large scale universe to the chaotic motions of tiny asteroids, from the barren beauty of the rocky Moon and Mars, to the eddy and hurricane filled gas giants, to the frozen worlds of Pluto and beyond. He is also fascinated by how astronomy is folded into customs and practices of cultures and societies from the earliest days of human civilization to the present day. Last but not least, he asks the same big questions that most of us ask – “Where did all this come from?” and “Is there life out there?”
