Field notes
The navigation gives the project a broad but legible structure: observing lessons, sky objects, calendars, tools, and a dedicated heritage section. That section includes lunar mansions, Arabic star names, guidance by stars, and named historical artifacts such as al-Sufi’s book and the astrolabe. The homepage also lists times and dates for events including eclipses and meteor showers.
