      Al-Battani was one of the most famous Arab astronomers during the Medieval period. He was famous for calculating the number of days, hours, and minutes within only a few minutes accuracy, based on today’s calculation. Often dubbed as the “Ptolemy of the Arabs,” Al-Battani influenced famous astronomers’ work like Copernicus and Kepler.
