User: Rosalina2427

Hi there! My username here is Rosalina2427. I went on Wikipedia for the first time around 2008, but I didn't become a registered user until 2010. In the beginning of my Wikipedia life, I went around hurricane talk pages, constantly forgetting the fact that Wikipedia is not a forum. I was also young, inexperienced, and absolutely naive about Wikipedia itself as an exceptionally annoying WikiKitten. After being warned a few times by more experienced (and extremely exasperated) users, I found my footing and became, well, more experienced and mature on Wikipedia.

Nowadays, I go around undoing vandalism, copyediting, updating tropical cyclone information, and checking out the Teahouse at times when I can squeeze it in to help and guide new users who are just like me back in the day.

Picture of the day

The Book of Fixed Stars (Arabic: كتاب صور الكواكب kitāb suwar al-kawākib, literally The Book of the Shapes of Stars) is an astronomical text written by Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi) around 964. Following the Graeco-Arabic translation movement in the 9th century AD, the book was written in Arabic, the common language for scholars across the vast Islamic territories, although the author himself was Persian. It was an attempt to create a synthesis of the comprehensive star catalogue in Ptolemy's Almagest (books VII and VIII) with the indigenous Arabic astronomical traditions on the constellations (notably the Arabic constellation system of the Anwā'). The original manuscript no longer survives as an autograph, however, the Book of Stars has survived in later-made copies. This image from the book shows the constellation of Orion, in mirror image as if on a celestial globe, and is from a copy in the Bodleian Library dated to the 12th century AD.Ilustration credit: Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi
