The Sumerians and Egyptians certainly had star maps and catalogs, but these have been lost. The oldest star atlas that we have record of was compiled by the Greek-Egyptian astronomer Claudius Ptolemy about 2000 years ago, and his atlas survived only because it was translated into Arabic 1500 years ago, and was discovered in the libraries of Cordova and Toledo, Spain, when "El Cid" conquered the Arabs and unified Spain.


Can you provide me with information about the FK5 star catalog and its significance in astronomy?

The FK5 star catalog is a widely used catalog of stars that provides precise measurements of their positions and motions in the sky. It is important in astronomy for accurately tracking the movements of stars and studying their properties. The catalog is used by astronomers to make observations, calculate distances, and study the dynamics of the Milky Way galaxy.
