The Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa is an Indian text on Jyotisha, redacted by Lagadha
The text is foundational to the Vedanga discipline of Jyotisha. It is dated to the final centuries BCE. As the text describes rules for tracking the motions of the sun and the moon, its dating in the final centuries BCE seems implausible as the more sophisticated horoscopic astrology and advanced astronomical knowledge possessed by the Indians. In the Vedanga Jyotisha, Lagadha praises Jyotisha as the crowning subject in the ancillary Vedic studies of human enlightenment.
The Vedanga Jyotisha is available in two recensions: one of 36 verses associated with the Rigveda and another of 45 verses associated with the Yajurveda. There are 29 verses in common.

लगधमुनिप्राेक्तम् वेदाङ्गज्योतिषम् (अार्चं याजुषं च) is one of earliest known texts on astronomy. The present form of the text is dated to the 1400 BCE to final centuries BCE, but it is based on a tradition reaching back to about 1800 BCE.
Lagadha was a 2nd century BCE astrohomer/astrologer. The Vedanga Jyotishya (Limbs of the Doctrine of Astrology) dated to 135 BCE and NO earlier.
Lagadha was a 2nd century BCE astrologer/astronomer who compiled and presented his groundwork Vedanga Jyotishya (Limbs of the Doctrine of astrology) circa 135 BCE. .. And NO earlier.
Nonsense have you ever seen the real book of vedas? Rascals
