Vedic-Hindu systems of astronomy are by far the oldest

Jean-Sylvain Bailly (1736-93) 18th century French
astronomer and politician. His works on astronomy and on
the history of science (notably the Essai sur la theorie
des satellites de Jupiter) were distinguished both for
scientific interest and literary elegance and earned him
membership in the French Academy, the Academy of
Sciences, and the Academy of Inscriptions.

Jean-Sylvain Bailly said:

     "The motion of the stars calculated by the Hindus
before some 4500 years vary not even a single minute from
the tables of Cassine and Meyer (used in the 19th
century). The Indian tables give the same annual
variation of the moon as the discovered by Tycho Brahe -
a variation unknown to the school of Alexandria and also
to the Arabs who followed the calculations of the
school... "The Hindu systems of astronomy are by far the
oldest and that from which the Egyptians, Greek, Romans
and - even the Jews derived from the Hindus their
knowledge."

Nonsense, formal astronomy had been underway in the middle east long before
the vedic nomadic herders entered s. asia from the n.w. area of what is now
afganistan.

The vedic herders as all groups f that kind have a crude folk astronomy
which uses sky events as a calender. Yearly herding events were scheduled
by that calendar.

Core parts of what is now called "vedic astrology" were taken from the
astrology of the middle east.

These days when someone wants to attempt to impress, they paste the label
of "vedic" on just about anything.
