This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Umair Asim loves astronomy more than curry (Indian food). Asim's going to places and telling generation of all ages about his undying love Astronomy with his giant telescopes.

Umair Asim is an educationist by profession and an amateur astronomer at heart. He did his Masters in Astronomy from James Cook University and has dedicated his life to the sharing of his passion of Astronomy with general public, specially with children. He is one of the pioneering members of Lahore Astronomical Society. The society has held hundreds of public outreach sessions all across Pakistan. Umair owns the largest H-Alpha telescope in Pakistan to observe the Sun and one of the largest telescopes, Celestron C14 for the night sky.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
