This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1862 edition. 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.

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.

This book presents the basic fundamentals of descriptive archaeoastronomy and its application to the astronomical descriptions found in ancient Indian scriptures. Archaeoastronomy is a branch of positional astronomy that helps to determine the epochs of ancient astronomical alignments and special astronomical events. In this book, only the descriptions of special stellar alignments and events found in ancient texts can identify the antiquity of the descriptions. India possesses a large volume of ancient scriptures like Vedas and Puranas which contain many astronomical descriptions as in ancient India positional astronomy was well developed. The antiquities of these texts are determined through archaeoastronomical techniques. Major events like Mahabharata War are dated and using these dates a chronology of ancient India is determined. The astronomically determined chronology is compared with the results from various archaeological, palaeoclimatological, geological and genealogical investigations of ancient India. This introductory book interests readers interested in unveiling the mystery involved with the protohistory of this ancient civilization.

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.
