This habit of creating panchangam dates back to several 1000 years to the very dawn of hinduism. Without knowledge of kepler’s law and newton’s law or without any telescope at he moment, how the people foretold these details is a mystery. Even to this date it is in almost every indian household to find auspicious timing of the day. People usually store old Ephemeris for many generations in india.
