星表

星表 [xīng biǎo]

1. ■ star catalogue:

中国战国时代甘德著的《星点》和石申著的《天文》是世界上最早的星表。 两表里记有120颗恒星的位置， 至今还非常准确， 比其他国家观测恒星早200多年。 “The Star Chart” written by Gan De and “Astronomy” by Shi Shen of the Warring States Period （475 B.C.-221 B.C.） were the earliest star catalogues in the world. The two star charts presented in the books record positions of 120 stars. These positions, recorded 200 years earlier than those by other countries, are remarkably accurate, even by modern standards.
