The Puranas
The main scriptures in Hinduism are the Vedas and Puranas. The Vedas contain the phlosophy, whereas the Puranas contain the mythology. In paricular the Puranas have a wealth of information on creation, cosmology, time cycles, incarnations of Gods and the genealogy of legendary kings. The Puranas complement the Vedas by describing the concepts in a simple manner with the help of tales and parables. The two epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, are also popular sources of mythological information.

Space research may appear as a somewhat chaotic dispersion of disparate efforts, space probes, ground telescopes, space telescopes etc. Yet this is not completely true. Scientists manage to arrive to certain consensus, while politics has, the last say. First of a two part article, within a series of related installments.
