点评:This really is a very important place in global history, the site where Ulugh Beg and his assistants built an observatory, patiently took sun shots, and from their meticulous calculations came the sextant and the navigational almanac.
Only the ground floor remains, but the excavations reveal a sense of how it was constructed, the internal equipment and the scale of the original building. The adjacent museum is quite small, but contains the most amazing exhibits that recount the history of the observatory and Beg's work, the development of the sextant and the birth of modern navigation.
Try and visit in the evening as it is much less crowded with other visitors (and some from the buses look just a little bored).
For context, the Apollo astronauts took a space sextant as a manual back-up to their inertial navigation systems. Just wow!
翻译:这确实是世界历史上非常重要的地点,乌鲁伯格和他的助手们曾在这里建造天文台,耐心地拍摄太阳照片,并通过他们细致的计算,发明了六分仪和航海历。
目前只剩下底层,但发掘工作揭示了它的建造过程、内部设备以及原始建筑的规模。毗邻的博物馆规模不大,但馆内展品令人叹为观止,讲述了天文台和乌鲁伯格工作的历史、六分仪的发展以及现代航海的诞生。
建议晚上参观,因为那时游客较少(有些公交车上的游客看起来也有些无聊)。
值得一提的是,阿波罗宇航员携带了一个太空六分仪作为惯性导航系统的手动备用装置。真是太棒了!
