The rich astronomical heritage ...

"During the so called 'dark ages' in Europe, Islamic civilisation championed both astronomy and physics,

shaping our modern science,"

Christopher Phillips, who is leading the project.

A campaign is being launched to take astronomy to schools, orphanages and refugee camps :

throughout Afghanistan.

Drawing on the rich heritage of astronomy under Islam :

the campaign hopes to expand to other countries too.

                               

Amateur astronomers, government officials and science communicators are behind the project

which will dole out star-gazing kits first around Kabul.....

The project aims to restore astronomy to the place it had previously in Islamic societies :

                               

The eventual aim is to reach other parts of Asia, the Middle East and Africa......

but....but....Hindus were star gazing wayyyyyy b4 Islam :

Arabs are a backward  people , inspite of  vast oil wealth they  are still  living in the middle ages. They invented nothing and what was attributed    them was in fact stolen from India.
