THE LEGACY OF ULUGH BEG
Muhammed Taragai Ulugh Beg (1394-1449) was a Turk who ruled the province of Transoxiana (Maverannahr), a region situated between the River Oxus (Amu Darya) and the River Jaxartes (Syr Darya), the principal city of which was Samarkand. Ulugh Beg's grandfather was the famous conqueror Timur (1336-1405). Ulugh Beg became the ruler of Transoxiana in 1447 upon the death of his father. But his rule was of short duration. Two years later he was killed by an assassin hired by his son 'Abd al Latif. Were it only for his role as prince, viceroy, and martyr, few scholars would know of Ulugh Beg. But his memory lives on because he was an observatory builder, patron of astronomy, and astronomer in his own right. He was certainly the most important observational astronomer of the 15th century. He was one of the first to advocate and build permanently mounted astronomical instruments. His catalogue of 1018 stars (some sources count 1022) was the only such undertaking carried out between the times of Claudius Ptolemy (ca. 170 A.D.) and Tycho Brahe (ca. 1600). And, as we shall briefly discuss here, his attitude towards scientific endeavors was surprisingly modern. The administration of Transoxiana was the responsibility of Ulugh Beg's father for most of Ulugh Beg's life. The prince had the opportunity (and the inclination) to pursue scholarly matters. His interest in astronomy dates from an early age, when he visited the remains of the Maragha Observatory, made famous by the astronomer Nasir al- Din al-Tusi (1201-74). The principal accomplishment at Maragha was the Zij-i ilkhani, or Ilkhanic Tables.[2]

Day 13 - Thursday, 4 May 2000
Samarkand Today we visited the observatory of Ulugh Beg. We were not aware of it at the time but we had eaten lunch near the observatory on our way to Bukhara last Sunday ( Day 9 The layers of history were spread before us again; in the 4th century, Alexander the Great conquered, in the 6th century the Turks ruled, and in 712 AD the Arab conquerors came. They brought a new language (Arabic) and a new religion (Islam) and with it a new culture. At this time in the city were people of many religions, including Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, and the Islamic nation was added to this mix. In 1054, Omar Khayam came to Samarkand and wrote of "bushes cut as animals, water running, and naked women diving under willows." He also encountered astonishing and impressive hospitality in the beautiful city. It was in the 12th century that Ghengis Khan destroyed all this civilization and the city itself. In the 15th century Timur, born in Shahrisabz, rose to power and created an empire that reached from the shores of the Mediterranean (and included Israel) to the Asian land of China. This empire was a nurturing environment for scientists, philosphers and scholars. On one of the highest, most rocky, hills around Sarmarkand, Timur's grandson Ulugh Beg built this wonderful observatory around 1420. Before his death in 1449, with this instrument, Ulugh Beg marked degrees, minutes, seconds. He calculated a 365 day year (with an error of 58 seconds compared to today's calendar), fixed the eclipses, and determined the days of the equinox.

Stephen Spender Ulugh Beg was the grandson of Timor , a warrior emperor. He was born in Sultanya . After taking the charge of several cities at the age of ten, he went on to become the governor of Kharasan . Under the guidance of his mentor, he expanded the territory of his state through various military expeditions. However defeat at the hands of Uzbeks marked a momentary halt to his military zest. This was followed by a fundamental change in his life. His interest shifted from warfare to creative pursuits. He became adept in Mathematics, Astronomy, Astrology and the knowledge of History. His main accomplishment included building a prestigious Madrasa - an educational institute, an exclusive observatory, which contained a grand library mainly pertaining to science and the compilation of the star catalogue

HALL OF ASTRONOMERS
An astronomer is someone who studies astronomy. The following night-owls are important astronomers, astrophysicists, mathematicians, and other scientists who have contributed greatly to our knowledge of the universe.
ADAMS, JOHN C.
John Couch Adams (1819-1892) was an English astronomer and mathematician who, at 24 years old, predicted the existence of the planet Neptune (Le Verrier also predicted its existence, independently).
AIRY, GEORGE
Sir George Bidell Airy (1801-1892) was the director of Greenwich Observatory/Astronomer Royal of England from 1835 to 1881. Airy installed a transit (a precise surveying device) at Greenwich, England, which was used to define the zero degree meridian of the Earth (zero-degrees longitude). A crater on Mars about 5 degrees south of the equator and on what is defined as Mars' prime meridian (zero-degrees longitude) is call Airy. A small crater within this crater (which is called Airy-0) is where the meridian line (zero-degrees longitude) crosses. A crater on the moon is also named for him (latitude 18.1 degrees, longitude 354.3 degrees, diameter 36 km). Airy is supposed to have stated incorrectly that Charles Babbage's new "analytical engine" (the predecessor of the computer) was "worthless," effectively ending Babbage's government funding.

http://www.angelfire.com/nb/junbesh/Legends/Ulug-bek.htm
Ulugh Beg Afghanistan's Astronomer Prince Afghanistan might have been a very different place today if the astronomer-prince Ulug Beg (Ulugbek) had not been assassinated by Muslim extremists on October 27, 1449. Earlier in the 15th century, Ulug Beg's parents, Shah-Rukh and Gawhar-Shad, had emerged victorious from the battle for Timur's empire. They established their capital city Herat (in present-day Afghanistan) as a center of culture and learning. They founded madrassahs colleges open to both men and women students. Their son Ulug Beg was based as Emir, or Prince, in Samarkand. He founded two madrassahs in Samarkand and Bukhara. Inscribed on the Ulug Beg Madrassah built in Bukhara in 1417, can still be read the words: "It is the duty of every Muslim man and woman to acquire knowledge." The Madrassah in the Registan in Samarkand is tiled in a sparkling pattern of stars for Ulug Beg is most famous for his observatory built in 1428, and opened the following year by his proud mother Gawhar-Shad. It was unsurpassed in the world. The great round building was bisected north to south by a gigantic marble quadrant which was cut down deep into the ground for stability. Its sights were moved into position on brass rails. This enabled the most accurate star tables ever to be complied.

Ulugh Beg
Ulugh Beg adalah cucu kepada Timur (dikenali di Barat sebagai Tamerlane), putera Tartar dan pemerintah Turkestan. Beliau adalah seorang ahli astronomi yang unggul dan ahli ilmu hisab pada abad ke-15. Ulugh Beg adalah anak kepada Shah Rukh, raja Timurid dan dilahirkan di Asia Tengah di Sultaniyya pada 1393. Beliau adalah seorang hafiz, seseorang yang menghafaz ayat-ayat suci al-Quran.
Ulugh Beg menjadikan Samarkand terkenal sebagai salah sebuah bandar yang terkemuka dalam tamadun Muslim. Pada 1424 beliau membina sebuah madrasah, sebuah institusi pengajian tinggi, di mana diajari ilmu astronomi. Kemudian pada 1428, Ulugh Beg mula membina sebuah bangunan yang mengandungi teropong untuk mengakji bulan setinggi tiga tingkat di Samarkand. Ia berukuran lebih daripada 200 kaki garis pusat dan 120 kaki tinggi.
Beliau melantik Al-kudsi, seorang ahli astronomi Muslim sebagai pengarah di pusat pengajian itu. Beberapa lagi ahli ilmu hisab dan astronomi yang terkenal termasuk Al-Kashi dan Kadizada bekerja di sana. Beliau melengkapkan tempat tersebut dengan alat-alat astronomi yang terbaik dan paling tepat yang ada pada ketika itu. Bangunan pengkajian itu termasuk sekstan [alat pengukur tingginya matahari untuk menentukan kedudukan kapal] Fakhri (yang dibuat daripada batu marmar) yang digunakan untuk memastikan kecondongan gerhana pada garis khatulistiwa, the point of the vernal equinox,
masa sepanjang tahun di tropika dan pelbagai lagi penentuan astronomi yang dilakukan dengan pemerhatian berdasarkan matahari. Ia juga mengandungi sebuah alat pengukur sudut yang amat besar hingga sebahagian daripada lantainya perlu dikeluarkan untuk memuatkannya di bangunan pengkajian itu. Alat-alat yang lain termasuk triquetram dan sfera armillary. Dalam 1437 beliau menerbitkan hasil kerjanya yang terkenal iaitu daftar baru bagi bintang-bintang bertajuk 'Zidj-i Djadid Sultani'. Di dalamnya, beliau memeriksa kembali kedudukan dan saiz bintang-bintang yang dikaji oleh Ptolemy. Beliau mendapati banyak kesilapan dalam perkiraan Ptolemy.

Short Fiction With the pounding bass of "Paninero," Ulugh Beg glided though the club, effortlessly parting the crowd. More than a few of the dancers were openly admiring of his exotic looks which was intriguingly complemented by his Victorian dress. Crossing the floor to a dark, secluded table, Ulugh's piercing gaze detected the hideously warped Nosferatu lurking in the shadows. At last. After much searching, another piece of lore was about to be reclaimed for his master. The Nosferatu licked what remained of its lips with its long, scabarous tongue. Its right eye lolled horrifically in its socket, a sight so grotesque that it would have caused a lesser being to flinch. "Do you have the text," Ulugh queried? Reaching slowly toward a pocket, the Nosferatu hissed in the affirmative. "However, first, my price...I require information on the Council of Seven."
