What is astronomy? And what it all is good for? ESO Visitor Centre | 9 October 2013 What is astronomy? Astronomy is the study of all celestial objects. It is the study of almost every property of the Universe from stars, planets and comets to the largest cosmological structures and phenomena; across the entire electromagnetic spectrum and more. It is the study of all that has been, all there is and all that there ever will be. From the effects of the smallest atoms to the appearance of the Universe on the largest scales. ESO Visitor Centre | 9 October 2013 Astronomy in the ancient world Astronomy is the oldest of the natural sciences, dating back to antiquity, with its origins in the religious, mythological, and astrological practices of the ancient civilisations. Early astronomy involved observing the regular patterns of the motions of visible celestial objects, especially the Sun, Moon, stars and naked eye observations of the planets. The changing position of the Sun along the horizon or the changing appearances of stars in the course of the year was used to establish agricultural or ritual calendars.

Seventh-century historian Li Chunfeng dismisses them as ignorant, supplying the reader with additional evidence. Using their respective histories and what sources for the history of early imperial ar- millary instruments survive independent thereof, this article tries to explain the mix-up by exploring the ambiguities of ‘observation’ (guan) as it was mediated through terminology, text, materiality and mathematics.

This major work contains an extensive star catalogue, which lists star co-ordinates and magnitude estimates, as well as detailed star charts. Other topics include descriptions of nebulae and Arabic folk astronomy. As I mentioned before, al-Ṣūfī’s work was first translated into Persian by al-Ṭūsī. It was also translated into Spanish in the 13th century during the reign of King Alfonso X. The introductory chapter of al-Ṣūfī’s work was first translated into French by J.J.A. Caussin de Parceval in 1831. However in 1874 it was entirely translated into French again by Hans Karl Frederik Schjellerup, whose work became the main reference used by most modern astronomical historians. In 1956 al-Ṣūfī’s Book of the fixed stars was printed in its original Arabic language in Hyderabad (India) by Dārat al-Ma‘aref al-‘Uthmānīa.

  • Hohokam Legacy: Desert Canals (Pueblo Grande Museum Profiles No
    Hohokam Legacy: Desert Canals (Pueblo Grande Museum Profiles No. 12) Jerry B. Howard Introduction Visitors to the Salt River Valley are often surprised to discover a fertile agricultural region flourishing in the arid Arizona desert. However, these modern agricultural achievements are not without precedent. From A.D. 600 to 1450, the prehistoric Hohokam constructed one of the largest and most sophisticated irrigation networks ever created using preindustrial technology. By A.D. 1200, hundreds of miles of these waterways created green paths winding out from the Salt and Gila Rivers, dotted with large platform mounds (see Illustrations 1 and 2). The remains of the ancient canals, lying beneath the streets of metropolitan Phoenix, are currently receiving greater attention from local archaeologists. We are only now beginning to understand the engineering, growth, and operation of the Hohokam irrigation systems. This information provides new insights into the Hohokam lifestyles and the organization of Hohokam society. Illustration 1. Extensive Canal System built by the Hohokam and others to divert water from the Gila River. (Source: Salt River Project) 1 www.waterhistory.org Hohokam Legacy: Desert Canals Illustration 2. Extensive Canal System built by the Hohokam to divert water from the Gila River. (Source: Southwest Parks and Monuments Association) Early Records of the Prehistoric Canals When the first explorers, trappers, and farmers entered the Salt River Valley, they were quick to note the impres- sive ruins left by the Hohokam. Villages containing platform mounds, elliptical ballcourts and trash mounds covered with broken ceramic pots and other artifacts existed throughout the valley. Stretching out from the river was a vast system of abandoned Hohokam canals that ran from site to site across the valley floor.
