The sky above your night, exactly as it was
Pick a place and a moment. Najmi computes where every star stood, then labels the bright ones with the Arabic names astronomers kept for a thousand years: Aldebaran is الدبران, “the follower”.
Above you that night
How it works
The real sky
Positions come from the Hipparcos catalogue: 5,000 stars down to the faintest you can see by eye, placed for your exact minute and coordinates.
Arabic star names
Most bright star names in English come from Arabic: Altair, Vega, Deneb, Rigel. Najmi shows the originals and what they mean.
