LUNAR ECLIPSE COMPUTATION IN INDIAN ASTRONOMY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SIDDHNTIC TEXTS [PDF]

open access: bronzePublications of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2015
Indian astronomical texts have records of lunar astronomy since the Puranic age. In the VedngaJyotia (1350 B CE), the algorithm for computing eclipses is not found. This phenomenon was interpretedin the Siddhntic texts as the occurrence of Vyatipati Yoga.

Radio Astronomy from a Lunar Environment Precursor Tests

open access: gold, 2020
Performing radio astronomy observations from the Earth’s surface is plagued with interference issues. The Earth and its surrounding atmosphere, particularly our ionosphere, are massive sources of natural interference. There are also human sources of interference. There have been several studies attempting to solve the issues surrounding radio

From smartphones to stargazing: the impact of mobile-enhanced learning on astronomy education

open access: yesScience Education Quarterly
This study investigates the impact of mobile-enhanced learning on astronomy education in secondary schools. Despite students' inherent fascination with space, traditional astronomy curricula often fail to engage learners effectively. We employed a mixed-
