The Iau Working Group on Star Names (Wgsn)
The IAU-Working Group on Star Names consists of scholars with a huge diversity of cultural backgrounds. In our monthly discussions of cultural names from different places and times, this year we came across some interesting facts in intercultural comparisons. In particular, the constellation of Andromeda was depicted as the Syriac goddess Derketo in early al-Sūfī manuscripts, the ՙHorse՚-constellations of the Arabic, Babylonian, Greek and Indian …

Based upon Horowitz’s suggestion that this is also a celestial representation of the pres…

Simulated Sky
For centuries, the rich nocturnal environment of the starry sky could be modelled only by analogue tools such as paper planispheres, atlases, globes and numerical tables. The immersive sky simulator of the twentieth century, the optomechanical planetarium, provided new ways for representing and teaching about the sky, but the high construction and running costs meant that they have not become common. However, in recent decades, “desktop planetari…
