167. Mankind's first mission to 'touch' the Sun may have panned out differently had it not been for Indian-American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, whose intervention made it possible for a research paper proposing the existence of solar wind to get published 60 years ago.The unprecedented sun-skimming probe that lifted off today from the US is set to study the 'solar winds' proposed in the paper by Dr Eugene Newman Parker, who has now become the first living scientist to have mission named after him.NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which will fly closer to the Sun that any other spacecraft has attempted before is set to explore the corona, a region of the Sun only seen from Earth when the Moon blocks out the Sun's bright face during total solar eclipses.Back in 1958, when the 31-year-old Parker suggested that the charged particles streamed continuously from the Sun and fill up the space, the scientific community refused to believe him. The prevailing opinion at the time was that the space was total vacuum."When he submitted his paper detailing his theory to the Astrophysical Journal, the most prominent research journal of the field, it was rejected twice by two different reviewers who were asked to provide opinions," Dibyendu Nandi, an associate professor at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata, told PTI."The Senior Editor of the Astrophysical Journal intervened and overruled the reviewers and allowed the idea to be published. That Editor was the Indian-American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar," said Nandi, who is also the chairman of the Working Group on Solar-Stellar Environments of the International Astronomical Union (IAU)."Chandra, as he was popularly known, is another astrophysicist with his name tagged to a space mission, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory," Nandi said.Chandrasekhar was awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize for Physics with William A Fowler for studies of the physical processes of importance to the structure and evolution of the stars.Perhaps the incident shaped how Parker perceived the research work of budding Indian scientists."My PhD research supported an alternate theory for the Sun's magnetic cycle, different from a theory that had been proposed earlier by Parker," Nandi recalls."Eugene Parker had the vision to recognise the possibilities discussed in my thesis, and the magnanimity to write a glowing review of a thesis for an unknown student from a far away country - a PhD thesis that contradicted one of his own theories," he said."I have learnt a very important lesson of my professional scientific career from him: to be generous to the ideas of others, as long as they are not obviously wrong, and even if they contradict my own personal views," he said.A mission like Parker Solar Probe has been a dream of scientists for decades, but only recently has the required technology - like the heat shield, solar array cooling system, and fault management system - been available to make such a mission a reality.The car-sized spacecraft will travel directly into the Sun's atmosphere, about four million miles from its surface - and more than seven times closer than any spacecraft has come before, thanks to its innovative Thermal Protection System.The USD 1.5 billion mission will perform the closest-ever observations of a star when it travels through the Sun's outer atmosphere, called the corona.It will make 24 passes through the corona during its seven-year mission. The mission will rely on measurements and imaging to revolutionise our understanding of the corona and how processes there ultimately affect near-Earth space.
168. MUMBAI: After years of on-again-off-again negotiations, Ajay Bijli-led India’s leading multiplex chain PVR Ltd has finally reached an agreement with South India’s largest premium cinema exhibitor SPI Cinemas to acquire the company at an enterprises valuation of over Rs 850 crore.In a cash and stock deal PVR will acquire SPI Cinemas, which operates brands like Sathyam Cinemas, Escape, Palazzo, The Cinema and S2, in key markets of Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, and Mumbai.SPI Cinemas has a network of 76 screens (68 operational and 8 expected to commence operations soon) across 17 properties and 10 cities. The company also has a signed pipeline of over 100 screens which are expected to be rolled out over the next 5 years.Under the terms of the proposed acquisition, PVR would acquire 71.7% stake in SPI Cinemas from existing shareholders for a total consideration of Rs 633 crore, and will issue 1.6 million new equity shares of PVR, constituting approximately 3.3% of the diluted paid up equity share capital of the company for the remaining stake. At current share price of Rs 1,317 per share, PVR will issue new shares worth over 210 crore.EY India, the leading firm for media transactions in India, was the exclusive financial advisor on the transaction.ET had first reported on January 12, 2015 that PVR and SPI Cinemas are in talks and the deal size could be around Rs 750-800 crore. However, the talks failed at that time.Post the acquisition, PVR’s total screen count will increase to 706 screens across 152 properties and 60 cities. The acquisition will also propel PVR as the 7th largest cinema exhibitor in the world in terms of annual admissions at its theatres, which will be in excess of 100 million.SPI Cinemas, PVR said, has the highest occupancies across all organised multiplex chains in the country and is expected to achieve annual admissions of approx. 16-17 million in FY19 and revenues of Rs 410- 420 crore. SPI is also one of the key movie distributors in the state of Tamil Nadu.Kiran M Reddy and Swaroop Reddy, owners of SPI Cinemas, will continue to remain associated with the business and provide strategic guidance in integrating the business with PVR and create value for all the stakeholders, the two companies said.The transaction is expected to be closed in next 30 days and the merger process is expected to be completed in next 9-12 months.Ajay Bijli, chairman cum managing director, PVR, said “The acquisition of SPI Cinemas is of significant strategic value for PVR and will further cement our market leadership position in India.”Bijli said the acquisition will make PVR the undisputed leader in the South Indian market and provide an attractive platform to expand in that geography, which currently is highly under-penetrated in terms of multiplexes.“This transaction is a significant step in helping us achieve our vision of having 1000 screens by 2020,” Bijli said.“This combines two proven business models and will create significant value for moviegoers as well as all the stakeholders,” said Kiran Reddy of SPI Cinemas.
