Ronaldo Laishram, a student from Manipur, studying in SJCE, was on Tuesday honoured by the former President A.P.J Abdul Kalam for discovering the Main Belt Asteroid “Maur 397” as part of the All-India Asteroid Search Campaign (AIASC) held in December 2014. Ronaldo and his team Salonivia Conquerors had tracked objects by looking at the images of sky provided by a telescope based in US, as part of a competition called Astrometrica to find out which objects moving over time could be possible asteroids.
