All Skies Encyclopaedia (ASE)

PROJECT
Organization: Stiftung FNJE

Collection of cultural sky knowledge from all over the world

About


 We collate and collect the data on cultural names of stars and constellations in order to keep their heritage and distribute the knowledge about them beyond their culture of origin. For the same reason, the IAU policy of naming stars aims at the conscious inclusion of all cultures and to enrich the names used in astrophysics with names from all cultures and not only the commonly used Latin, Arabic and Greek ones.

 It is a knowledge base linked to Stellarium, and a working tool used by the Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) of the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
