EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of astronomy. Taken from an engraving dating back to 1857, it depicts Arab scientists raising the height of the Sun in the Plain of Babylon around 825. The scene showcases their ingenious use of a quarter circle with pinnules as an instrument for measurement. In this image, we witness the fusion of human intellect and scientific curiosity. These learned astronomers from ancient Mesopotamia, part of the thriving Arab civilization, are diligently working to unravel the mysteries of celestial bodies. Their dedication and expertise shine through as they meticulously calculate and raise the height of the Sun. The significance of this moment extends beyond mere observation; it represents a pivotal point in our understanding of weight and measurement systems. By utilizing this innovative instrument, these Iraqi astronomers were able to make precise calculations that contributed immensely to our knowledge about astronomical phenomena. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded not only of humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge but also its deep-rooted connection with nature and the cosmos. This artwork by Stefano Bianchetti serves as a testament to how ancient civilizations like Babylon have laid foundations for modern science and continue to inspire us today.
