The Astronomical Observatories of Jai Singh c4.s1.20

Language: English

c4.s1.20

Mahendra's small star catalogue is of considerable interest because such lists are very uncommon in Hindu books and because it is taken from Ptolemy's catalogue. The latitudes are exactly the same as Ptolemy's in all cases but one, and the longitudes differ by exactly 18° 53′ in all cases but six.
