Abstract:

Draupadi is the epitome of feminine excellence and the single representative of the entire novel The Palace of Illusion. Divakaruni makes Draupadi as the “Celestial astra, the weapons that must be invoked with special chants! They come from the Gods and return to them after being used. The most powerful ones can be used only once in a warriors lifetime.” She is used as a “Brahmastra” to destroy the evil things in the entire world. Because cleansing is the essential factor for the overall social change. Here Draudpadi also “ascends the pyre” not to die but to

Abstract:

Celestial imagery serves as a powerful thematic and symbolic element in Jokha Alharthi's Celestial Bodies, reflecting the intricate interplay between family, culture, and identity. The novel emphasizes the interconnectedness between human and non-human worlds, inviting readers to explore its Ecocritical significance. This study aimed to analyze the novel's use of celestial imagery to evoke wonder and awe while criticizing the impact of human activities on the environment. This research is based on the discussion of Timothy Morton (2016) on Ecocritical theory. The analysis examined how these mo

Abstract:

AbstractThe Sumerian tale of Inana and Shukaletuda recounts how the goddess Inana is raped by a homely gardener upon whom she seeks and ultimately finds revenge. Though this general plot has long been understood, certain elements of the story have remained largely unexplored. Previous scholarship has often suggested that within Inana and Shukaletuda, the goddess Inana is often described in her astral manifestation (e.g. S. Kramer 1961, 117; K. Volk 1995, 177-179 and 182-183; B. Alster 1999, 687; J. Cooper 2001, 142-144). Nevertheless, to date there has been no systematic treatment of this assu

Unlike the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform sources, there is no direct evidence of keeping records of celestial objects or astronomical phenomena in the corpus of the Urartian cuneiform texts.

An exceptional evidence of an Urartian cuneiform text could fill the lack of information, perhaps, pointing out the apparition of a comet.

AbstractThe celestial Earth's orientation is required for many applications in fundamental astronomy and geodesy; it is currently determined with sub-milliarcsecond accuracy by astro-geodetic observations.

Important IAU 2000/2006 resolutions on reference systems have been passed (and endorsed by the IUGG) that recommend a new paradigm and high accuracy models to be used in the transformation from terrestrial to celestial systems.

Abstract An ancient Egyptian Calendar of Lucky and Unlucky Days, the Cairo Calendar (CC), assigns luck with the period of 2.850 days.

However, next to nothing is known about who recorded Algol’s period into CC and especially how. Here, we show that the ancient Egyptian scribes had the possible means and the motives for such astronomical observations.

Abstract:

Revelations, visions and their interpretations create in themselves authority. In early Jewish Aramaic tradition, however, this is increased by the role of writing. Enoch receives revelations of the secrets of heaven from heavenly tablets by the Holy Watchers. The Fallen Watchers teach the earthly women magic and sorcery from tablets stolen from the heaven. Scribalism in Second Temple period Judaism and Enoch is becoming more and more researched. As is known, Enoch has a Mesopotamian scholarly tradition behind it, which saw the movement of the celestial bodies as a heavenly writing, the transm

Abstract Portentous clusters of the five visible planets are repeatedly implicated in historical sources in connection with dynastic transitions in early China. In the medieval period, which is the focus of this investigation, the History of the Three Kingdoms records how timely planetary portents during the decline of the Later Han dynasty (184–220 CE) were exploited as the celestial signs justifying usurpation and the founding of the (Cao-)Wei 曹魏 dynasty by Cao Pi 曹丕 (ca. 187–226). Half a millennium later, in mid-Tang 唐 dynasty, the impetus for the devastating rebellion of An Lushan 安祿山 (703

This wonderful and extremely useful book is as difficult to classify as it is to put down. Essentially, it is a compendium of Greco-Roman discourse on the stars and planets, divided into three parts.

Context. The investigation of activity periods in time-tagged data samples is a topic of great interest. Among astrophysical samples, gamma-ray sources are widely studied, due to the huge quasi-continuum data set available today from Fermi-LAT (Fermi Large Area Telescope) and the AGILE-GRID (Astro Rivelatore Gamma a Immagini LEggero-Gamma Ray Imaging Detector) Aims. To reveal flaring episodes of a given gamma-ray source, researchers make use of binned light curves. This method suffers from several drawbacks: the results depend on time-binning and the identification of activity periods is diffi

Abstract In the faculty of arts at the University of Padua in the years around 1600 professors debated the reliability of astrology, the existence of occult celestial influences, and the idea that celestial heat is present in living bodies. From the 1570s to the 1620s many professors in the faculty of arts pushed back against astrology and Jean Fernel's theories surrounding astral body. Girolamo Mercuriale, Alessandro Massaria and Eustachio Rudio thought that some forms of astral causation and Fernel's ideas were incompatible with their observations of disease, Aristotle's philosophy and Hippo

AbstractTechnological and scientific developments during the past century made a new branch of astronomy flourish, i.e. astrophysics, and resulted in our present deep understanding of the whole Universe. But this brought astrometry almost to extinction because it was considered to be dull and old-fashioned, especially by young astronomers. Astrometry is the much older branch of astronomy, in fact 2000 years of age, which performs accurate measurements of positions, motions and distances of stars and other celestial bodies.

Abstract This article examines the role of rural communities in shaping early Egyptian statehood through the evolution of funerary beliefs. Drawing on the analysis of 504 tombs from the cemetery of Adaïma (Upper Egypt, 3300–2700 BCE), we trace a growing variability in mortuary practices from the First to the Third Dynasty. By the Third Dynasty, a remarkable alignment between the heliacal rising of Sirius, the summer solstice, and the Nile inundation began to reconfigure both ritual time and space. The celestial events became instrumental in transforming materially grounded beliefs—such as the

Abstract This paper provides a detailed analysis of Plato’s account of real astronomy in Book VII of the Republic. It aims to reconcile two seemingly contradictory instructions: to employ visible astral motions as paradigms to learn about the intelligible ones (529d7–e2) while leaving the things in the heavens alone and focusing on problems (530b6–c2). By relying on the image-original relationship between the sensible and the intelligible realms, the paper argues that the real astronomer must interact with celestial entities, but solely for the purpose of using them as paradigms for learning a
