Which one of the following does not find mention in the works of the astronomers of ancient India?
Uranus
Ancient Indian astronomers such as Aryabhata and Varahamihira wrote extensively about the Sun, Moon and the five planets visible to the naked eye, namely Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Uranus is not visible to the naked eye and was discovered only in 1781 by William Herschel using a telescope, long after these ancient Indian astronomical texts were composed.
Therefore Sun, Mercury and Venus all find mention in ancient Indian astronomical works, while Uranus does not.
Hence, the answer is Uranus.
