Varanasi view clear Solar ecplise

Million of people assembled at varnasi Ghats where Sun God made his entry at dawn on the banks of the Ganges river in Varanasi in cloudless morning offered a spiritual stunning sight where people, saints sages ,scientist all cheered with loud thounderous applause to greet the solar event.

Indian priests with their special offering prayers,solar event viewers cheered,raising their arms in respect and reverence for nature glory unfolding on to their blessing with the sun re-emerged from behind the moon, before they took a spiritually purifying dip in the river’s holy waters. Solar eclpise studied by fifth century Indian scientist and is the most brilliant brain to study the astronomy with mathematical study.

ARYABHATT Born in 476 CE in Kusumpur (Bihar), Aryabhatt’s intellectual
brilliance remapped the boundaries of mathematics and astronomy. In 499 CE, at the age of 23, he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparallel treatise on mathematics called “Aryabhatiyam.” He
formulated the process of calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. Aryabhatt was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates on its axis, orbits the sun and is suspended in space - 1000 years before Copernicus published his heliocentric theory. He is also acknowledged for calculating p (Pi) to four decimal places: 3.1416 and the sine table in trigonometry. Centuries later, in 825 CE, Arab mathematician, Mohammed Ibna Musa credited the value
of Pi to the Indians, “This value has been given by the Hindus.” And
above all, his most spectacular contribution was the concept of zero
without which modern computer technology would have been non-existent.
Aryabhatt was a colossus in the field of mathematics.
