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

Thousands of people have been stargating for thousands of years. The ancient people around the world sought the sky for physical and spiritual direction. After dozens and a few dozen generations, their descendants are now arguing that civilization has created the world’s oldest visual star catalog.

Researchers in the National Astronomy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have claimed that the star catalog of China’s oldest Star Catalog Shi is actually the first known Star Catalog, Period. They reached the conclusion using a technique that made accounts for possible human defects created thousands of years ago. If their results are proven to be true it means that Shi’s star catalog is a century older than the other first place contestant – The One Greek astronomer built by the hipparkus. But not everyone in the scientific community is sure.

“Compared to the era of observation of other ancient Star Catalogs worldwide, SHI’s star catalog also predicts the oldest Western star catalogs, confirming its position as the oldest star catalog in the world,” researchers wrote this Study The preprint server was posted in April in April.

Because the axis of the earth trembles, the stars in the night sky change the position of the stars for centuries PresidationThe Researchers can use the historical record of the night sky and the ancient Visual Star Catalogs to calculate the difference between the differences between the historical records of the night and what our stars look like now.

The Shi’s star catalog, however, was notoriously difficult today, as this one catalog portrayed the star positions that seem to have been through several centuries. In preprint surveys, researchers outline several previously proposed dates: about 360 AD; 360 AD with updates around 200 CE; Around 440 AD around 440 AD; Once upon a time in 5 BCE; And during the seventh century.

Researchers have acknowledged that there is a lot of views on the observation of the “Shi’s star catalog,” researchers have acknowledged. As such, they decided to analyze the 120 stars of the catalog with the generalized half -transformed method – an algorithmic imaging technique that “ancient and significant defects between ancient and modern stars, resolving limitations in the previous manner,” they explained. This approach is confirmed that the Shi’s star catalog was first drafted around 355 BC and then updated around 125 CE.

“In comparison, the oldest known catalog of the Western Tradition, the Ptolemike Star Catalog (2nd Century C) is probably derived from the Hipparkus Star Catalog (the second century BC). Thus, the SHI’s Star Catalog has been identified as the oldest Star Catalog in the world.

Some scientists, of course, have a separate theory: Shi’s star catalog was closed to one degree. Previous studies adjusting for the date of this assumption that Shi’s star around the catalog around or after 103 AD, as reported ScienceThe Some Histor Tihasik looks favorably on this next date because it combines the use of the catalog of round coordinates more closely with Chinese invention Army sphere (A round mathematical material used to track the movement of the heavenly bodies around the earth) and their adoption of a round cosmic model, both took place in the first century BC according to science.

A few hundred years before the discovery of the Armillary sphere, people suggested using a round combination, as researchers did in recent studies, “A receipt from a gas station and someone wants to say that it is from 1700”, “was not involved in research, Daniel Patrick Morgan, in the center of France, was not involved in research.

Future research may provide further answers. Whether the recent research is true or not, it is noteworthy that the Histor has underestimated the success of the Western world, including the ancient China of the Eurocentric system. Also, the ancient Babylonian of the seventh century BC Diary Europe both European and Asian astronomical artifacts from the water, though the tablets are not visual, but listed astronomical observations through texts.
