  Astronomy in Ancient India - Crystalinks
Aryabhatta is said to have been born in 476 A.D. at a town called Ashmaka in today's Indian state of Kerala.
Aryabhatta's ideas about eclipses and the sun being the source of moonlight may not have caused much of an impression on European astronomers as by then they had come to know of these facts through the observations of Copernicus and Galileo.
Aryabhatta was the first one to have propounded this theory in the 5th century.

ARYABHATTA (Aarya-Bhatt) was born in 476 in Patna, India and died in 550.
ARYABHATTA (Aarya-Bhatt) taught that the earth is a sphere and rotates on its axis, and that eclipses resulted from the shadows of the moon and earth.
ARYABHATTA (Aarya-Bhatt) wrote, according to Clarke, "In a yuga the revolutions of the Sun are 4,320,000, of the Moon 57,753,336, of the Earth eastward 1,582,237,500,.

 Acts of faith (Part III of XII)
Aryabhatta taught that the earth spun on its axis and gave the correct explanation of the eclipses.
Aryabhatta's genius extends to his development of an alphabetical system of expressing numbers on the decimal place value model and in calculating the most accurate value of pi as 3.1416.
Aryabhatta assumed all the yugas to be of equal duration whereas others took it in the ratio of 4:3:2:1.

Aryabhatta gives formulas for the areas of a triangle and a circle which are correct, but the formulas for the volumes of a sphere and a pyramid are wrong.
Aryabhatta gave an accurate approximation for pi (equivalent to 3.1416) and was one of the first known to use algebra.
Aryabhatta also wrote the astronomy text Siddhanta which taught that the apparent rotation of the heavens was due to the axial rotation of the Earth.

Aryabhatta also approached science initially from a religious angle as he was a great devotee of Lord Brahma (The creator of the Universe according to Hindu scriptures).
Some of Aryabhatta's theories, such as his notion about a spherical earth, movement of the earth around the sun, the positions of the different planets were brilliant and precise concepts and are still referred to by modern day mathematicians and astronomers.
Aryabhatta was probably born around April 13, 476 AD at Kusumpura (some have identified it with modern Patna) on the River Ganges.

 A Short Note
Aryabhatta was a 5th century mathematician and astronomer who worked in the following areas- the methods of determining square and cube roots, geometrical problems, the progression, problems involving quadratic equations and indeterminate equations of the first degree.
Other contributions Aryabhatta made towards pure mathematics were his sine tables, his approximation of pi and the expressions that he gave for the sum of squares and the sum of cubes.
He was influenced by Aryabhatta's work on Kuttaka and made his own modifications in order to solve indeterminate equations of the second degree.

 The Starfleet Museum - Kestrel Class and Aryabhatta Class
Because of their relatively short endurance of 2 years, ARYABHATTAs were primarily used to survey areas within Federation territory, often more than a century after such areas had first been mapped by Terran or Vulcan survey ships.
In their more than 30 years of service, ARYABHATTAs are credited with mapping and exploring more than 500 star systems and establishing contact with 31 civilizations, including the Trohii, the Min, the Roffoman, and the Bet'tag.
Although the ARYABHATTA and KESTREL classes were not the fastest, most numerous, or most heavily armed ships of the early 23rd century, they had several important effects, which are still being felt today.
