4 +3 | acronychal rising of Sirius (the Dog Star) |
|
acronychal rising of Sirius (the Dog Star) Explanation: Orto = rising; ocaso = setting. "Orto acronico. Llámase el Orto de una estrella acrónico, quando esta estrella sale por la tarde al momento en que se pone el Sol; de suerte que el momento en que el Sol se pone arregla el Orto acrónico de las estrellas." Diccionario universal de Física, Volume 7 (1801) https://books.google.es/books?id=_Fns11GsRJ8C&pg=PA213&lpg=P... "Acronychal rising of the star is when it rises just after the sunset, and acronychal setting when it sets just before the sunrise." https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1304/1304.2176.pdf "The corresponding rising of a celestial body above the eastern horizon at sunset is called its acronychal rising," https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliacal_rising |
