Researchers Claim Ancient Chinese Star Catalog Is the Oldest of Its Kind—But Not Everyone’s Convinced

People were starkazing for thousands of thousands of thousands of years. The ancient people in the world looked in the heavens for physical and spiritual leadership. Then dozens and dozens of generations and generations are now arguing that civilization has created the world’s oldest visual star catalog.

Researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences “National Astronomical Followers” is the most well-known star catalog of China’s oldest star catalog, in fact the earliest well-known star catalog, the most well-known star catalog. Thousands of years ago, they reached this conclusion using a technique that made potential human mistakes. If the results are true, it is greater than the stars of Shi’s starfish in the other first place for centuries one Greek astronomer was created by Hipparchus. However, not everyone is convincing in the scientific society.

“Compared to the observation periods of other ancient star catalogs in the world, Shi’s star catalog also confirms the status of the world’s oldest star catalog,” A researchers A learn Sent to a pre-prepared server archive in April.

Because Earth Axis Wobbles, the place of stars in the night sky is in a phenomenon that has been in centuries for centuries unit. Researchers can use the earth around the Earth for an ancient visual star catalog, calculating the difference between the historical records of the night sky.

Shi’s star catalog, so far this catalog has been so hard to describe the star positions that appear for centuries for centuries. Researchers in the previously prepared work plans note that there are a number of pre-offered dates: about 360 BCE; In about 360 in 360 in 360s; About 440 BCE with an update around 160s; between 100 BCE and 70 for a while; and over the seventh century.

“While researchers acknowledged, there are numerous prospects for the observation period of the Shi Star catalog.” Thus, they decided to analyze the 120 star of the catalog by the generalized HOUGH transform method. This approach to the first time the Star catalog of Shi is compiled around 355 BCE and then confirms that it is updated in 125 Council of Europe.

“Comparison, the oldest well-known catalog of the Western tradition, Ptolemaic star catalog (2nd centuries suction), probably the hipparchus star catalog (2nd century catalog). Thus, it is defined as the oldest well-known star catalog in the world,” he said.

Some scientists have a different theory: The tool used to mark the stars catalog of Shi was a degree. Previous studies This hypothesis date Shi’s Sty’s Sty Catalog or after BCE after 103 BCE Science. Certain historians look positively for further date, because it adapts to the fact that the catalog is more closely using the Chinese invention of spherical coordinates Armilyary area (A spherical mathematical instrument used to follow the movement of celestial bodies around the earth) and the setting of a spherical cosmology model that took place in the first century of science.

As they used spherical coordinates from the invention of the Armilary area a hundred years ago, as researchers’ recent research, “I will want to find a receipt from the gas station,” A historian research center said he was a historian related to a research center in the research center.

Future studies can respond more. It should be noted that the recent study proves that the Eurocentric approach of the Western world is not validated by the historical of the world, including in ancient China. Moreover, the seventh century of the ancient Babylonian BCE astronomical Diaries Tablets are not visual, although the list of astronomical observations in the list of astronomical observations, both Europe and Asian astronomical works have blows along the water edge.
