Abstract

UDK 52/53:28”04/14”

Interest in astronomy is one of the significant features of Islamic civilisation in the period between the eighth and the sixteenth centuries. The number of the scientists that dealt with theoretical astronomy, the number of texts written in this field as well as the number of observatories that were active at that time making significant written record of precise observations is impressive. Various studies of astronomy of Indian, Persian and Greek origin were translated to Arabic and served as bases upon which the Arabic astronomy was developed. The most significant Muslim astronomers were: Al-Battani, Al- Sufi, Al-Biruni and Ibn-Yunus. Amongst the large number of Muslim astronomers of the medieval period are also some who were proponents of the heliocentric model.
