Varahamihira- Indian scientist and mathemetician
We heard about NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) founding the “strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars,” something, which triggered hope of finding the historical footprints of Martian history.
Prophecy on Mars by Varahamihira
But, what if, we told you that its presence was already predicted almost 1500 years back from now? Shocked? Then this might make you sit up- an Indian had let this prophecy!
Facts about Varahamihira
Varāhamihira, an Indian astronomer, mathematician and astrologer, from Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India, son of Adityadasa (an astronomer himself) in his book made insights on and about ‘space and universe’, which have shocked the scientists of today.
Varahamihira's contribution to world
Those of you, who failed to recognize him, Varāhamihira is the one whose mathematical work included the discovery of the trigonometric formula!
Great scholar
But, the calculations and revelations that we are going to share with you are about the discovery of water on Mars. Read on to know...
Panchasiddhantika
Born in year 505, Varāhamihira brew his knowledge on mathematics and astronomy from Kapitthaka. Among his famous works, Panchasiddhantika (The Five Astronomical Canons) dated back to 575 AD, holds prime importance.
Diameter of planets
Panchasiddhantika includes, Surya Siddhanta, an astronomical treatise which explains or determines the true motions of the luminaries. Under this work, Varāhamihira has also explained the estimated diameters of the planets, like, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter.
Surya siddhanta
Surya Siddhanta also carries calculations on and about solar eclipses and lunar eclipses, its color and portion as well.
Mar's diameter prediction
Apart from the estimated diameter, which was calculated to be 3,772 miles (that has an error within 11% of the currently accepted diameter of 4,218 miles), Varāhamihira also predicted the presence of water on Mars.
