Al-Battani

Al-Battani was a renowned Arab astronomer and mathematician from the 9th-10th century. He made significant contributions to understanding the motion of planets, the calculation of solar and lunar positions, and improving methods for determining time and calendars. His observations and mathematical techniques advanced astronomy and influenced later scholars in both the Islamic world and Europe. Essentially, Al-Battani refined the way we measure celestial movements, helping us better understand the universe’s mechanics with more accurate predictions and calculations.
