**Gopal Ballal Bhide used to take a keen interest in observing celestial phenomena. He was born in Śaka 1778 at Nirvedi, in Ratnagiri District and died in Śaka 1812. He was in the service of the Education Department in that district from 1874 A.D. to the end. He had recorded several observations about the rises and sets of planets, and had also seen the rises and sets of the junction stars of some of the naksatras. Had he lived longer, he would have been of great use in promoting the cause of the Science of Indian Astronomy.
