But there is also evidence that the end of the year was
where the month of Janus (January) ended.
In Roman times - when
the correlations between the yearly cycle of the Sun and the
corresponding cycle of the Moon once again had been set in order -
the Sun reached 'January 28 when Procyon culminated (at 21h).

... The leap day was introduced as part of the
Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia
(February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis
sextum - literally 'double sixth', since
February 24 was 'the sixth day before the
Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting
(March 1 was the 'first day'). Although
exceptions exist, the first day of the bis
sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as
the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the
third century. February 29 came to be regarded
as the leap day when the Roman system of
numbering days was replaced by sequential
numbering in the late Middle Ages ... |

... This [η
Carinae] is one of the most noted objects in the
heavens, perhaps even so in almost prehistoric
times, for Babylonian inscriptions seem to refer
to a star noticeable from occasional faintness
in its light, that Jensen thinks was η.
And he claims it as one of the temple stars
associated with Ea, or Ia, of Eridhu¹, the Lord
of Waters, otherwise known as Oannes², the
mysterious human fish and greatest god of the
kingdom.
¹ Eridhu, or Eri-duga, the
Holy City, Nunki, or Nunpe, one of the oldest
cities in the world, even in ancient Babylonia,
was that kingdom's flourishing port on the
Persian Gulf, but, by the encroachment of the
delta, its site is now one hundred miles inland.
In its vicinity the Babylonians located their
sacred Tree of Life.
² Berōssōs described Oannes
as the teacher of early man in all knowledge;
and in mythology he was even the creator of man
and the father of Tammuz and Ishtar, themselves
associated with other stars and sky figures.
Jensen thinks Oannes connected with the stars of
Capricorn; Lockyer finds his counterpart in the
god Chnemu of Southern Egypt; and some have
regarded him as the prototype of Noah ...

...
Although an old constellation, Cetus is by
no means of special interest, except as
possessing the south pole of the Milky Way
and the Wonderful Star, the variable Mira;
and from the fact that it is a condensation
point of nebulae directly across the sphere
from Virgo, also noted in this respect
...
... Mira also
known as Omicron Ceti (ο
Ceti, ο Cet),
is a red giant star estimated 200-400 light
years away in the constellation Cetus. Mira
is a binary star, consisting of the red
giant Mira A along with Mira B. Mira A is
also an oscillating variable star and was
the first non-supernova variable star
discovered, with the possible exception of
Algol. Apart from the unusual Eta Carinae,
Mira is the brightest periodic variable in
the sky that is not visible to the naked eye
for part of its cycle ...
In a way Mira
therefore can illustrate how life (light)
departs, yet returns again after the
completion of a cycle.
... In 1638 Johannes
Holwarda determined a period of the star's
reappearances, eleven months; he is often
credited with the discovery of Mira's
variability. Johannes Hevelius was observing
it at the same time and named it 'Mira'
(meaning 'wonderful' or 'astonishing,' in
Latin) in 1662's Historiola Mirae Stellae,
for it acted like no other known star.
Ismail Bouillaud then estimated its period
at 333 days, less than one day off the
modern value of 332 days, and perfectly
forgivable, as Mira is known to vary
slightly in period, and may even be slowly
changing over time ... |
