Ladakh to Get World's Largest Solar Telescope

A solar telescope, said to be the world's largest, will be set up at Merak on Pangong Tso lake in Ladakh region, Kashmir by the Indian Department of Science and Technology.

The solar telescope will help the scientific community to study the long-term changes in the earth's climate and environment and also provide useful data to carry out research in order to minimize or remove disruptions to communications network and satellites due to periodic solar winds.
