On what currency note was the satellite Aryabhata Printed?

Do your own research.

See http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Nave-html/Faithpathh/galileomyth.html . Sagan said that Galileo was in a dungeon.

See "The Sleepwalkers", published in 1959, on page 492. Koestler says, "The "formal prison" took the form of a sojourn at the Grand Duke's Villa at Trinita del Monte".

Galileo seems to have been in an ordinary apartment for a day, before he moved to the Duke's Villa.

Hello! I am an undergraduate student at Texas A&M University, and I will be editing this article as part of my Technical and Professional Editing course. I will mainly focus on any possible organizational and grammatical errors in this article. For example, I believe that several sections should not belong to this article and should be separate articles. I understand that several editors have previously worked on this article, and I want to respect their work. Please respond if you feel as if there is anything I need to know before I start working on the article. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grace2424 (talk • contribs) 14:44, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

A large part of the section on the Nebra disc cites

• The Sky Disc of Nebra: Bronze Age Sky Disc Deciphered, Deutsche Welle, 2002, retrieved 15 October 2014

However the content is extraordinary but the source is not. Other sources eg

• Pásztor, E., & Roslund, C. (2007). An interpretation of the Nebra disc. antiquity, 81(312), 267-278.

are make much more mundane claims. Johnjbarton (talk) 03:08, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
