Book excerpt: Samanta Chandra Sekhar (1835-1904) occupies a special position in Ancient Indian Astronomy, being the last link in a long chain of illustrious astronomers commencing with Aryabhata (5th century AD). The book describes how he identified errors accumulated over the ages, eradicated them and brought the subject to final perfection. The discovery of the three anomalies in the motion of the moon, hiking of the Earth-Sun distance by more than ten times the value taken by his predecessors and his novel planetary model with heliocentric motion of the planets are some of his major contributions. How astronomy developed in ancient civilizations of the world, and the frontier topics in astrophysics like Dark Matter etc. discussed in a few articles help in developing an integral perspective of the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian scientific achievements in the early twentieth century are well known, with a number of heralded individuals making globally recognized strides in the field of astrophysics. Covering the period from the foundation of the Asiatick Society in 1784 to the establishment of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science in 1876, Sen explores the relationship between Indian astronomers and the colonial British. He shows that from the mid-nineteenth century, Indians were not passive receivers of European knowledge, but active participants in modern scientific observational astronomy.

This book was released on 2014-08-20 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has a strong and ancient tradition of astronomy, which seamlessly merges with the current activities in Astronomy and Astrophysics in the country. While the younger generation of astronomers and students are reasonably familiar with the current facilities and the astronomical research, they might not have an equally good knowledge of the rich history of Indian astronomy. This particular volume, brought out as a part of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of Indian National Science Academy, concentrates on selected aspects of historical development of Indian astronomy in the form of six invited chapters. Two of the chapters – by Balachandra Rao and M.S. Sriram – cover ancient astronomy and the development of calculus in the ancient Kerela text Yuktibhasa. The other four chapters by B.V. Sreekantan, Siraj Hasan, Govind Swarup and Jayant Narlikar deal with the contemporary history of Indian astronomy covering space astronomy, optical astronomy, radio astronomy and developments in relativistic astrophysics. These chapters, written by experts in the field, provide an in-depth study of the subject and make this volume quite unique.

Excerpt: ... astrologiques, ce besoin primitif et uniinstants ou ils se trouvent dans ce plan. Vingt-versel de l'esprit humain." Journal des Savants, huit etoiles, reparties sur le contour du ciel, et 1861, (p. 9.) toujours les memes, leur servent comme autant de Though I had hoped that some one better qualified than myself would vindicate the Indian origin of the ancient Indian astronomy, and though I consider Professor Whitney, who, to an extensive acquaintance with astronomy adds a scholar-like knowledge of Sanskrit, an antagonist even more formidable than Biot, yet, as I protested against the conclusions of the one, I feel bound to oppose the arguments of the other. I do not see that we gain any thing by assuming an indirect instead of a direct importation of Chinese wisdom into India, particularly if the intermediate stage seems to have no other object than to bring the scientific discoveries of the Chinese down to the level of the Indian understanding. Nor do I see that we fare better if, as Professor Weber proposes, we admit a spreading of astronomical knowledge from a Semitic centre, and assume the fundamental notions of chrononomy to have been imported from Babylon to China on one side, and to India on the other. I differ toto ccelo from every one of these theories. I feel as strongly to-day as I did when, in the year 1846,1 read at Paris the articles then published by Biot, that the Brahmans cannot have borrowed the idea of the Nakshatras from the Chinese. I maintain, 1. that the Nakshatras were suggested to the Hindus by the moon's sidereal revolution; 2. that they were intended to mark certain equal divisions of the heavens; and 3. that their number was originally twenty-seven, not twenty-eight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A perspective that origins of ancient Gods of India are based on sky constellations The ancient Gods of India have been worshipped through several millennia and have infused faith, spirituality, and mystique in humankind. The Gods come fully equipped with their divine vehicles, weapons and elaborate belief systems. Billions of devotees all around the world follow many of these beliefs even in this present era. The puzzling belief systems generate wonder/curiosity, and they pose questions. Where is Mount Mēru, where the churning of the ocean occurred? From this churning arose Kāmadhēnu, the holy cow and the pot of Amrita. What signifies Amrita, the heavenly nectar? Where are Amrita and Kāmadhēnu now? Where did the book of Ayurveda originate from? Why do we see Lord Vishnu in a sleeping posture on the Giant serpent Ādishēsha & Lakshmi Devi floating in an ocean? Why are rivers holy? How did Ganga travel from Heaven to Earth? What is Akasha Ganga’s meaning? Why do we celebrate Basant Panchami by flying kites? Why are Shiva and Parvati represented together in iconography with a single body? Why is Akshaya Tritiya called so? Whom does Keerthimukha, the demon head depicted on the Gopura/peak of a temple entrance represent? What is the strange hybrid fish/ crocodile/ creature coming out of Keerthimukha’s mouth? What does the Nataraja dance posture indicate? Why is the Lord of wealth Kubēra not worshipped anymore? Why is Shiva wearing the moon on his head and associated with his drum, the Damaru? Why does Lakshmi have eight forms (Ashtalakshmi)? Why is Vishnu called Padmanābha, The Lord Who Has A Lotus Shaped Navel? What is Thōrana, the set of mango leaves tied together hanging on the top of Indian doors? How really did all these ancient Gods of India and belief systems originate? Did the Indians alone perceive it? Did the beliefs of ancient civilizations In the Indus valley, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, etc. have shared origins? Can some of these answers be found in Astronomy? Yes, read this book to find out further!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stamps and other postal documents are an attractive vehicle for presenting astronomy and its development. Written with expertise and great enthusiasm, this unique book offers a historical and philatelic survey of astronomy and some related topics on space exploration. It contains more than 1300 color reproductions of stamps relating to the history of astronomy, ranging from the earliest observations of the sky to modern research conducted with satellites and space probes. Featured are the astronomers and astrophysicists who contributed to this marvelous story – not only Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Herschel, and Einstein but also hundreds of other minor protagonists who played an important role in the development of this, the most ancient yet the most modern of all the sciences. The book also examines in depth the diverse areas which have contributed to the history of astronomy, including the instrumentation, the theories, and the observations. Many stamps illustrate the beauty and the mystery of celestial objects: galaxies, nebulae, stars, planets, satellites, comets, and minor celestial bodies.
