Aristyllus

Greek astronomer · Scientists

Aristyllus was a Greek astronomer, presumably of the school of Timocharis. He was among the earliest meridian-astronomy observers. Six of his stellar declinations are preserved in the Almagest (7.3). All are exactly correct within his over-cautious rounding to 1/4 degree. See discussion at DIO 7.1 ‡1 p. 13 (2007).

Aristyllus is read about 5.5 times a day, in 25 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 19 September 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
