Nakshatras Book Description:
The Ancient Sages divided the zodiac(apart from twelve signs) into 27 Nakshatra or constellations of 13.20 degrees each. A Nakshatra is also called as lunar mansion or constellation. In Hindu astronomy, there was an older tradition of 28 Nakshatra which were used as celestial markers in the heavens. When these were mapped into equal divisions of the ecliptic, a division of 27 portions was adopted since that resulted in a cleaner definition of each portion (i.e. segment) subtending 13° 20′ (as opposed to 12° 51 3⁄7′ in the case of 28 segments). In the process, the Nakshatra Abhijit was left out without a portion. The Surya Siddhantha concisely specifies the coordinates of the twenty seven Nakshatra.-Nakshatras Pushtak.
It is noted above that with the older tradition of 28 Nakshatra each equal segment would subtend 12.85 degrees or 12° 51′. But the 28 Nakshatra were chosen at a time when the Vedic month was recognized as having exactly 30 days. In India and China the original 28 lunar mansions were not equal. Weixing Nui provides a list of the extent of the original 28 Nakshatra expressed in Muhurt (with one Muhurt = 48 minutes of arc). Hindu texts note there were 16 Nakshatra of 30 Muhurt, 6 of 45 Muhurt, 5 of 15 Muhurt and one of 6 Muhurt.-Nakshatras Pushtak.
