36"The Book of Fixed Stars was written shortly before 964 AD. Dr. Paul "
37"Kunitzsch described it as \"the most outstanding among the works of the "
38"prominent astronomer Abu 'l-Ḥusayn 'Abd al-Raḥmān ibn 'Umar al-Şūfi (born in"
39" Rayy, 903; died 986), referred to as al-Sufi. In it, al-Şūfī treats the 48 "
40"classical constellations, which were established and transmitted in "
41"Ptolemy's Almagest. The description of each constellation comprises the "
42"following four sections: first, a general discussion of the constellation "
43"and its individual stars; this section also includes alŞūfi's criticism of "
44"the Ptolemaic tradition and notices of his own observations. Second, a "
45"record of the indigenous Arabic star names falling under that constellation,"
46" and the exact identification of the respective stars with the corresponding"
47" Ptolemaic stars. Third, two drawings of the constellation, one as it is "
48"seen on a celestial globe, and the other one as it is seen in the sky. "
49"Fourth, a table of the stars making up that constellation, giving a verbal "
50"description of each star's location and its longitude, latitude, and "
51"magnitude. This table closely follows the arrangement of Ptolemy's star "
52"catalogue in the Almagest.\" <sup><a href=\"#footnote-1\">[1]</a></sup>. In "
53"addition to the four sections of each constellation mentioned by dr. "
54"Kunitzsch, Al-Sufi would identify stars within the 6 magnitudes that were "
55"neglected by Ptolemy, but he did not catalogue them and was faithful to "
56"Ptolemy star catalog."

58"《恒星之书》(The Book of Fixed Stars)为著名天文学家阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼·苏菲(Abu 'l-Ḥusayn 'Abd al-"
59"Raḥmān ibn 'Umar al-Şūfi, 903-986年),简称为苏菲(Al-Sufi)于公元 964 年之前不久所写。 Paul "
60"Kunitzsch 博士将其描述为苏菲著作中最杰出的。 苏菲在书中论述了托勒密的《天文学大成》中所建立的 48 "
61"个经典星座,将每个星座的描述成以下四个部分:第一,对星座及其所含恒星的一般讨论;这部分也包括苏菲对托勒密传统的评论和他自己观察所注意到的事项。第二,记录该星座内的传统阿拉伯星名,以及与托勒密恒星进行准确配对。第三,星座的两幅图,一幅是在天球外看的角度,另一幅是在天球内看的角度,亦即我们在地球上仰望星空时的角度。第四,组成该星座的星表,对每颗星星的位置进行口头描述以及它的经度、纬度和星等大小。这张表的顺序与托勒密在《天文学大成》中的星表排列联系紧密。"
62"  <sup><a href=\"#footnote-1\">[1]</a></sup>。除了 Kunitzsch "
63"博士提到的每个星座的四个部分外,苏菲另外标识了被托勒密忽略的 6 等星内的恒星,但他并没有对它们进行分类,而是忠于托勒密的星表。"

68"An important aspect of the general discussion section is Al-Sufi method of "
69"facilitating the star identification. He describes each individual star in "
70"more than way: By the star position related to the constellation figure, by "
71"its magnitude, by the asterism it forms with other stars like triangle or "
72"arc shapes, sometimes by the star position related to the Milky way, and by "
73"the angular distance from a close by star. I have counted more than 700 "
74"angular distances measured by al-Sufi in his book. The units he uses for "
75"angular distances are cubits, spear length, man-height, span, and finger. "
76"Al-Sufi explicitly said in his book that a cubit is equal to two degrees and"
77" 20 minutes <sup><a href=\"#footnote-2\">[2]</a></sup>. For the other units,"
78" Schjellerup concluded some values, but tracking the 700 measurements, I "
79"came up with different values. The following table summarizes the units and "
80"relationship to the cubit value from Schjellerup<sup><a "
81"href=\"#footnote-3\">[3]</a></sup> and from my research."
82msgstr ""
83"一般讨论部分的一个重要方面是苏菲对恒星识别采用的方法。 "
84"他以多种方式描述每颗恒星:通过与星座图相关的恒星位置,通过其大小,通过它与其他恒星形成的星群,如三角形或弧形,有时通过与银河系相关的恒星位置,以及通过与附近恒星的角距离。我计算过苏菲在他的书中所测量的角距离有"
85" 700 多个。 他用于角距离的单位是手肘长、矛长、人的高度、跨度和手指宽。 苏菲在他的书中明确指出,一个肘长等于2 度 20 分  <sup><a "
86"href=\"#footnote-2\">[2]</a></sup>。 对于其他单位,Schjellerup 得出了一些数值,但在追踪探询 700 "
87"个测量值,我得出了不同的值。 下表总结了从 Schjellerup <sup><a href=\"#footnote-3\">[3]</a></sup>"

898"The Bedouins and farmers in the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on stars "
899"for timing their nomadic trips, animal care, weather forecast and "
900"agricultural activities. We find frequent mention of stars in their proverbs"
901" and poetry. Fortunately, the oral poetry and proverbs have been documented "
902"and preserved in collections by different scholars. Surveying these "
903"collections along with oral traditions reveals the star knowledge of the "
904"people of this region."

3728"goddess of sexual love and desire as well as goddess of war, the Sumerian "
3729"Inanna/ Akkadian Ishtar had been associated with the planet Venus.  This "
3730"goddess was later `translated' to the Greek Aphrodite and Roman Venus and "
3731"even in the Greco-Roman culture the name of the planet was Phosphoros "
3732"(Greek: the Luminous One) or Lucifer (Latin: the Bringer of Light) but "
3733"associated with the goddess.  Similar cases exist for most of the "

14833"of the Solar System's planets and Pluto have some peculiarities in "
