Know The Science Of Jyotish And Its Related Principles

Whenever we look at the sky, many questions come to our mind. For instance, why is the moon bigger or smaller every day? How do the stars change their positions? Or such a bright celestial body, the Sun, where it hides at night. All these questions also came to the mind of our ancestors and they made a lot of efforts to find answers and after decades (or perhaps centuries) of hard work, they developed various astronomical formulae, which they used in building astrology.
