Question – 101

What astronomy evidence can be cited for extra-terrestrial impact? Were they palpable from the earth?

Answer:

Apart from the change in phase of the moon, four features of the cosmos were noted and recorded by Vyasa. They are as follows:

1.     The star Arundhati (Alcor) which is seen behind the star Mizar (Vasishtha) was found to have changed position with Vasishtha. That is, Vasishtha was seen behind Arundhati.

2.     The Dhruva nakshatra made an opposite movement. Generally, while facing North we will find Dhruva nakshatra just stationary. But it is seen to move in west to east direction.

3.     Mars positioned in Scorpio along with the Sun was seen to have made retrograde movement which is impossible to happen. Mars as an outer planet cannot regress while it is seen in the same sign as the Sun.

4.     Two planets have risen with coppery red crest. This is contrary to the normal appearance of bluish tint on top of the planets in rising.
