The most complex problem of the motions, the shapes, and the rotations of the planets and their satellites was solved with a high degree of accuracy only as a result of the efforts of many mathematicians, most of all Newton and then J. Lagrange, L. Euler, P. Laplace, C. Gauss, and ...
This is the same as one degree of precession in 71³/7 = 71.42857 sidereal years. This correlates to the cosmological time cycles as follows: One manu = 71.4 chatur-yugas 1/14th of an introductory dawn = 0.02857. chatur-yugas 1/14th Kalpa = 71.42857 chatur-yugasIn...
appear to have reckoned it at one and a half degrees in a century, which is equivalent to a revolution in 24,000 years; whereas Albatenius, the earliest of the Arabian astronomers who improved upon Ptolemy, made it a degree in 66 years, which amounts to a revolution in 23,760 years....
Of planets, as far as ascertainable with any degree of certainty, only two are mentioned in the Old Testament: Saturn, called by his Assyrian name "Kévan" () in Amos v. 26; and "Meleket ha-Shamayim" (), "the queen of heaven," Jer. vii. 18, xliv. 17, 25, etc. That the la...

Supernovae Ia are bright explosive events that can be used to estimate cosmological distances, allowing us to study the expansion of the Universe. They are understood to result from a thermonuclear detonation in a white dwarf that formed from the exhaust
On Wednesday, August 11, a total eclipse of the Sun was visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses densely populated areas of the Earth. The path of the Moon’s umbral shadow began in the Atlantic and crossed Central Europe, the Middle East, and India where it ended at sunset ...
For example, at the equator, it increases from 2.81 ± 0.02 μrad s−1 at the bottom of the photosphere to 3.08 ± 0.05 μrad s−1 in the chromosphere. The ubiquitous small-scale magnetic fields and the height-dependent degree of their frozen-in effect with ...
As of 2016, Japan's Akatsuki is in a highly elliptical orbit around Venus since 7 December 2015, and there are several probing proposals under study by Roscosmos, NASA, and India's ISRO. In 2016, NASA announced that it was planning a rover, the Automaton Rover for Extreme Environments, ...
