Islamic scholars did much study and made many theoretical postulates about the Solar System and the universe, but most were based on the Ptolemaic system which was later proven wrong by Copernicus. Thus most of their postulates have been abandoned just as were pre-Copernican Christan postulates.
A significant number of stars, such as Aldebaran and Altair, and astronomical terms such as alidade, azimuth, and almucantar, are still referred to by their Arabic names.[
