5-575: The Gauribidanur Observatory is located at Gauribidanur in Chikkaballapur district (Latitude:13.60° N; Longitude:77.44° E), 100 km north of Bengaluru . The Observatory has been used for studying various aspects of the Sun, galaxies and pulsars. A few observations with the array have been the first two-dimensional images of radio emission from slowly varying discrete sources in the outer solar corona , an all-sky survey of radio sources at 34.5 MHz in
