Astronomers have identified a reference to a total solar eclipse in the ancient Hindu text, the Rig Veda, dating back to around 4000 BCE¹. This discovery highlights the advanced astronomical knowledge of ancient Indian civilization. The researchers pinpointed the eclipse by analyzing descriptions of celestial events in the text, which align with the position of the vernal equinox in the constellations of Orion and the Pleiades.
