CHAPTER II. MEDIAEVAL SCIENCE AMONG THE ARABIANS
The successors of Mohammed showed themselves curiously receptive of the ideas of the western people whom they conquered. They came in contact with the Greeks in western Asia and in Egypt, and, as has been said, became their virtual successors in carrying forward the torch of learning. It must not be inferred, however, that the Arabian scholars, as a class, were comparable to their predecessors in creative genius. On the contrary, they retained much of the conservative oriental spirit. They were under the spell of tradition, and, in the main, what they accepted from the Greeks they regarded as almost final in its teaching. There were, however, a few notable exceptions among their men of science, and to these must be ascribed several discoveries of some importance. Perhaps the greatest of the Arabian astronomers was Mohammed ben Jabir Albategnius, or El-batani, who was born at Batan, in Mesopotamia, about the year 850 A.D., and died in 929. Albategnius was a student of the Ptolemaic astronomy, but he was also a practical observer. He made the important discovery of the motion of the solar apogee. That is to say, he found that the position of the sun among the stars, at the time of its greatest distance from the earth, was not what it had been in the time of Ptolemy. The Greek astronomer placed the sun in longitude 65 degrees, but Albategnius found it in longitude 82 degrees, a distance too great to be accounted for by inaccuracy of measurement. The modern inference from this observation is that the solar system is moving through space; but of course this inference could not well be drawn while the earth was regarded as the fixed centre of the universe.

Al-Battani (Albategnius): Mathematician And Astronomer By David Tschanz Abu Abdallah Muhammad Ibn Jabir Ibn Sinan Al-Battani Al-Harrani, known in the West as Albategnius, is considered the greatest astronomer of his time and one of the greatest during the Middle Ages.
Al-Battani was born around 858 C.E. in Battan, a state of Harran, and was first educated by his father Jabir Ibn San'an Al-Battani, a well-known scientist. He then moved to Ar-Raqqa, situated on the bank of the Euphrates in Syria, where he received advanced education and began his career as a scholar. 
The Fihrist (Index), compiled by the bookseller Ibn An-Nadim in 988, gives a full account of the Arabic literature available in the 10th century and briefly describes some of its authors. It depicts Al-Battani as:

The more recent images were mostly made with a Nikon Coolpix 950 digital camera. The camera is coupled to the telescope via a Vixen digital camera adaptor.

Al-Battani, conocido también como Albategnius fue un astrónomo y matemático reconocido durante la edad media. Nació en 858 d.C. cerca a Battan, estado de Harran. Fue educado por su padre también un reconocido científico llamado Jabir Ibn Sin'an al-Battani. Posteriormente viajó a Raqqa para recibir educación superior. A finales del siglo XIX se trasladó a Samarra, en donde vivió y trabajó el resto de su vida. Realizó muchos y muy importantes trabajos en astronomía: Corrigió cálculos orbitales realizados por Ptolomeo usando la trigonometría, calculó con gran precisión la duración del año solar con solo una diferencia de 2 minutos y 26 segundos con respecto a la medición actual, describió la inclinación de la eclíptica y su relación con las estaciones, realizó excelentes observaciones de los eclipses lunares y solares, descubrió la existencia de los eclipses solares anulares, comprobó que el apogeo solar -distancia máxima entre la tierra y el Sol- no es constante.

Khalifah Abdul Malik b. Marwan dilahirkan pada tahun 26 Hijrah (646 Masihi). Ibunya bernama Aisya bt. Mu'awiyah b. al-Mughira. Ketika berusia 16 tahun, Abdul Malik b. Marwan pernah mengetuai pasukan tentera Madinah melawan Bizantin ketika pemerintahan Mu'awiyah. Abdul Malik b. Marwan adalah khalifah Bani Umayyah yang Kelima yang memerintah dari tahun 65 Hijrah - 86 Hijrah (685 - 705 Masihi). Beliau sempat melakukan pembaharuan seperti mengeluarkan matawang mas, mengumpul kembali Mushaf Uthman, dan lain-lain. Diakhir hayatnya beliau berhasrat melantik anaknya Marwan menggantikan dirinya, menggantikan pencalunan saudaranya Abdul Aziz. Ini menimbulkan ketegangan dengan Abdul Aziz tetapi ketegangan ini tamat apabila Abdul Aziz meninggal lima bulan sebelum kematian Abdul Malik b. Marwan. Selepas kematian Abdul Malik b. Marwan, anaknya Marwan dilantik menjadi penggantinya. Abu Abdullah Mohd b. Ibrahim Al Lawati (Ibni Batuta)

Technical info:
Telescope:
A 10" f/6.8 Newtonian reflector, using an 8mm Brandon eyepiece. The scope is mounted on a Losmandy Celestron G11 equatorial mount Camera: Nikon F3, using the autoexposure mode (which worked out to be about 1/4 of a second) and a cable release. I do NOT use any "hat trick" exposures.
I have found that the mirror-flap vibration introduces less of an error than atmospheric seeing, at this focal length, provided the camera is at right angles to the telescope tube.
This way, the mirror flap vibrations are parallel to the tube, not at right angles. I look through the viewfinder, and wait until moments of best seeing, then release the shutter.

Der Erdmond Unser Mond begleitet die Erde in einem Abstand von etwa 380´000 km auf ihrer Reise um die Sonne. Er umkreist die Erde in rund 27 Tagen und wendet ihr dabei immer dieselbe Seite zu. Möglicherweise ist der Mond entstanden, als ein großer Himmelskörper mit der Erde zusammen stieß und dabei Gesteinsbrocken herausschleuderte, aus denen sich der Mond bildete. Bei einem Durchmesser von 3500 km hat der Mond nur den 80. Teil der Erdmasse. Ein Astronaut, der auf der Erde mit Ausrüstung 120 kg wiegt, ist auf dem Mond nur 20 kg leicht.

"Lunar track is a low for summer"
Lunar Section Report - News Circular 199 - September 1997
Section activity has experienced its usual summertime lull - due to the lower elevation of the Moon in the first fortnight of the lunar month during the summer season, and the fact that a Moon riding high is really only visible in early morning skies. When considering the position of the Moon, remember that in a single month our satellite follows the roughly same path around the zodiac that the Sun takes in a year. At the height of summer (say July 15) the Sun is situated high (from British latitudes) in Gemini. At this date the first quarter Moon will therefore be located near to where the Sun will be around three months later - low in Virgo. The full Moon will be situated opposite to the Sun (where the Sun will be in 6 months' time) - in the depths of Sagittarius. The following phases will appear in progressively higher zodiacal constellations - great to observe if you're an early riser or dedicated Moon-watcher. Since our last News Circular report (as far back as NC 195) lunar reports and observations have been received from:-Lee Macdonald (Newbury) and Dusko Novakovic (Northampton): both contributed clear colour photographs of last September's total lunar eclipse. Lee also included a detailed account of the eclipse, concentrating on describing the subtle colours visible within the Earth's umbral shadow. I would greatly appreciate any reports of the total lunar eclipse on 16 September 1997 - drawings, notes, photographs (please send SAE for their return).
