Indian mathematics can be dated all the way back to 400 AD with intelligent mathematicians who have developed the way we solve math equations in geometry and number theory today. One of the geniuses who contributed greatly to not only mathematics but astronomy as well is Brahmagupta. A man way beyond his time, academically, whose claims in astronomy and mathematics is pondered upon by math historians and astronomers to this day. I will review his very vague early life, his...

The Chinese were so good in keeping astronomical records, allowing modern historians to determine that Chinese astronomy remained largely unchanged from 1800 BCE. Astronomy was a real reserve, and the emperors hired astronomers directly to follow the sky and record the phenomena, with the...

The Mesopotamian civilization was incredibly influential to the development in the human understanding of the functions of the universe, because they laid the foundations for the study of astronomy. There can be many parallels drawn between the conclusions on the workings of the universe that early Mesopotamian civilization drew and what later societies adopted in their own beliefs; most notably, the integration of religion and mythology into astronomy. The idea of years, months, and days was heavily influenced and defined...

Researchers from the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute published a paper that may explain the mysterious gap in the size of planets outside the solar system. Planets between 1.5 and 2 times the radius of the earth are extremely rare. This new study suggests that the reason may be that a slightly larger planet (called mini-Neptune) loses its atmosphere over time and gradually shrinks into a ‘super-Earth’ whose size is only slightly larger than our own planet...

The solar system was formed 4.6 billion years ago due to the gravitational collapse of a huge interstellar molecule cloud. Most of the system’s mass is in the Sun and most of the rest is in Jupiter. The four small inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are planets on earth, mainly composed of rocks and metals. The four outer planets are huge planets that are much larger than the Earth. The two largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, are gas...
