DESCRIPTION:BSIG Beginner’s Special Interest Group Zoom Presentation\nMiddle Eastern Astronomy\nAhmed Reda\nSynopsis: \nHave you ever wondered why most of the visible star names are Arabic ones? How Arabic astronomical concepts like the Azimuth or the Astrolabe came to be key ones in medieval astronomy? \nWhile most people are familiar with the Ancient Greek or Renaissance astronomy\, most people don’t recognize the vast contributions of the Islamic civilization to astronomy for a millennia.
