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.

Additional photographs by Lester Brooks In New Delhi, just behind famous Imperial Hotel, is a quiet and beautifully kept garden which contains six large, strange masonry structures. It is dominated by what appears to be a steep staircase to nowhere; even stranger are two cylindrical structures with central pillars and radial marble spokes. The visitor might be forgiven for thinking he had strayed into an exhibition of avant-garde sculpture, although these futuristic shapes have a solidity and a clean, functional beauty foreign to most contemporary art. This a jantar mantar, or astronomical observatory. The structures are gigantic instruments for calculating the positions of heavenly bodies. It was built in 1724 by Jai Singh, Maharaja of Jaipur, at the request of the Moghul emperor Muhammad Shah. Jai Singh was born in 1688, a year after the publication of Newton's Principia

Ghyath al-Din Jamshid Kashani
Ghyath al-Din Jamshid Kashani hyath al-Din Jamshid Kashani was born about 1380 CE. in Kashan, Iran and died in 1274 A.D on 22 June 1429 in Samarkand, Transoxania (now Uzbekistan). At the time that Kashani was growing up Timur (often known as Tamburlaine) was conquering large regions. He had proclaimed himself sovereign and restorer of the Mongol empire at Samarkand in 1370 and, in 1383, Timur began his conquests in Persia with the capture of Herat. Timur died in 1405 and his empire was divided between his two sons, one of whom was Shah Rokh.
While Timur was undertaking his military campaigns, conditions were very difficult with widespread poverty. Kashani lived in poverty, like so many others at this time, and devoted himself to astronomy and mathematics while moving from town to town. Conditions improved markedly when Shah Rokh took over after his father's death. He brought economic prosperity to the region and strongly supported artistic and intellectual life. With the changing atmosphere, Kashani's life also improved markedly. The first event in Kashani's life which we can date accurately is his observation of an eclipse of the moon which he made in Kashan on 2 June 1406 (He dated many of his works with the exact date on which they were completed.)

Ulugh Beg Door: Lesley Arp en Alexandra de Jong, 4VWO, HML. Biografie van Ulugh Beg Ulugh Beg leefde in het begin van de 15 e eeuw. Toen was het christendom in verval. Andere rijken, zoals het Ottomaans Turkse rijk, waren belangrijk. Binnen het christendom ontstonden er allerlei stromingen. Dat kwam onder andere doordat de bijbel in de 14 e e eeuw de renaissance. Tijdens de Renaissance vond een herwaardering van de kunst uit de klassieke tijd plaats. In die kunst stond tevens de mens centraal. Florence maakte op het gebied van handel en cultuur een bloeiperiode mee. Er kwam een nieuwe generatie schilders in Florence, die zo realistisch mogelijk schilderden. De bekendsten waren Boticelli, Lippi en Ghirlandajo. De beroemdste wetenschapper en schilder uit die tijd was Leonardo da Vinci. Hij is geboren in Florence en leefde van 1452 tot 1519. Na de dood van Shah Rukh werd Ulugh Beg leider van Timurid. In die tijd maakte Timurid een cultureel hoogtepunt mee. Echter wist hij zijn macht niet goed te behouden, en daar probeerden andere prinsen van te profiteren. In 1449 is hij in opdracht van zijn zoon Abd al Latif vermoord. Hij wou blijkbaar de macht graag van hem overnemen.Vragen: . Wanneer leefde hij?

Ulugh Beg and His Observatory

Ulugh Beg was the oldest son of Shahrukh, born in the city of Sultaniyah during his grandfather Timur's (Tamerlane's) campaign in northern Iran in 1394. At age 4 he accompanied his grandfather as far as Kabul, on the campaign that went on to take Delhi; almost immediately after the Indian campaign, he joined Tamerlane's campaign to the west which resulted in the defeat of the Ottoman ruler Bayezid I at Ankara in 1402. As Tamerlane was preparing to invade China, he celebrated the marriages of several of his grandsons, among them Ulughbeg (then age 10), who also was designated to rule over a significant portion of Moghulistan (the region encompassing part of the Tien Shan Mountains and NW Xinjiang), which, of course, was yet to be conquered. It is likely that Ulugh Beg was one of the princes seen by the Spanish ambassador Clavijo when he visited Tamerlane's court in 1403-1404.
Tamerlane's death in early 1405 not only cancelled the invasion of China but ushered in a period of civil strife in which the young Ulugh Beg took an active part. When his father, Shahrukh, finally managed to regain control over Transoxiana, he appointed Ulugh Beg as the regent there. The latter assumed his full responsibilities in 1411, although he continued to be subordinate to his father, who ruled the empire from Herat. At Shahrukh's death in 1447, Ulugh Beg succeeded him, but survived only two years as an independent ruler before being overthrown and beheaded in 1449.

The Registan itself is not a very big place. I have just been approached by a beggar for money and I said I am sorry. I am trying to keep my cool. From this side you can actually get a nice view of the registan. They are doing construction a bit. I see large minarets. I am standing outside a green domed bulding and bluish tiles, blue dark green. It seems more colorful than Bukhara. My guess is that as long as I keep my distance I ill be ok. Now I am in the courtyard. It is very nice. Now I am inside the mosque.
The Registan square of Samarkand was founded as an architectural complex by Ulug Beg
The main sites of Samarkand are the Gori Amir, the Bibi Khanum Masjidi, the Registan, Ulug Begs observatory. And al Bukhari.,
They built a Mausoleum at the site where Al-Bukhari is buried. Here there are pictures of old Muslims wearing white turbans and robes with Middle Eastern faces and beard. People are presenting tea and shashlik.

The grandson of the conqueror Timur the Lame (1336 - 1405) and the oldest son of Shah Rukh, both of whom came from the Turkic Barlas tribe of Transoxiana (present Uzbekistan), Ulugh Beg was born in Sultaniyya in modern-day Iran. As a child he wandered through a substantial chunk of the Middle East and India as his grandfather expanded his conquests in those areas. With Timur's death, however, and the accession of Ulugh's father to much of the Timurid Empire, he settled in Samarkand which had been Timur's capital. After Shah Rukh moved the capital to Herat (in modern Afghanistan), sixteen year-old Ulugh Beg became the shah's governor in Samarkand in 1409. In 1411 he became a sovereign of the whole Mavarannhar khanate.
The teenaged ruler set out to turn the city into an intellectual center for the empire. In 1417 - 1420 he built a madrasa ("university" or "institute") on Rigestan Square in Samarkand, and invited numerous Islamic astronomers and mathematicians to study there. Ulugh Beg's most famous pupil in mathematics was Ghiyath al-Kashi (circa 1370 - 1429).
In 1437 Ulugh Beg determined the length of the sidereal year as 365.2570370...d = 365d 6h 10m 8s (an error +58s). In his measurements within many years he used a 50 m high gnomon. This value was improved by 28s 88 years later in 1525 by Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), who appealed to the estimation of Thabit ibn Qurra (826-901), which was accurate to +2s.

Sein Vater setzte sich in den Nachfolgek¤mpfen unter den Erben Timurs durch und machte Herat zu seiner Hauptstadt. Um die urspr¼ngliche Hauptstadt nicht aufzugeben, wurde der 16-j¤hrige Ulugh Beg als Statthalter in Samarkand eingesetzt, zun¤chst unter erprobter Vormundschaft. Ulugh Beg waltete weitestgehend selbst¤ndig: er stellte seinem Vater zwar Truppen, besuchte ihn aber selten und setzte sogar einen Khan als Nominalherrscher ein, was den Vater nicht erfreut haben d¼rfte. Seine M¼nzen trugen aber den Namen Schah-Ruchs.
