1. Last in the alphabetical order, among the 10 stars rising in the 2nd hour, is Sheratan (β Arietis):
In my so far completed list of bright stars there are now 7 + 10 = 17 items and I have tried to put them in parallel with the glyphs of G:
My model assumes 1h coincides with 15.2 days counted from Rogo in Gb6-26 (because 60 / 1440 * 365.25 = 15.2). To get rid of 0.2 we could instead use a year with 360 days (= 360º), and then 15º will correspond to half a month. 60 / 1440 * 360 = 15 and each right ascension minute would then correspond to exactly a ¼ of day (= 6 hours). Sheratan, for example, would then be at day number 112 / 1440 * 360 = 28.0. This will be precisely at Gb7-25, because 408 + 28 = 436. Although such a model seems to be better, it does not, however, fit a reality which has a year with 365.25 days. I will therefore keep my so far used model. After another 15.2 days 2h will be reached, and 408 + 15.2 + 15.2 = 438.4 is the corresponding glyph number. Alrisha - the 'knot' in Pisces - is at the very end of the 2nd hour. Counting glyphs there are (3 + 4) + (3 + 4) = 14 in the 1st hour and 6 + 4 + 6 = 16 in the 2nd hour, together 30. Converting right ascension minutes for the first 2 hours into days means dividing 120 by 4. |
