Buruj mudahkan pengenalan bintang di langit


Terdapat 88 sistem buruj di langit. Buruj sebenarnya adalah titik-titik bintang yang dikumpul dan dibahagikan serta diberikan nama-nama tertentu berdasarkan bentuk supaya mudah diingat. Ini merupakan cara sistem buruj mula terbentuk.

Justeru, buruj ini sebenarnya bukanlah satu perkara yang benar. Ia sebenar adalah lambang khayalan ahli-ahli syair, petani dan juga astronomi lebih 6,000 tahun lalu. Tujuan sebenar penciptaan buruj ini adalah bagi membantu kita mengenal pasti jutaan bintang di langit.

Semasa langit gelap, anda boleh melihat lebih kurang 1,000 hingga 1,500 bintang. Pasti sukar untuk kita mengenal pasti bintang yang mana satu. Malah sekali imbas, titik cahaya yang berkedipan di langit malam kelihatan sama sahaja. Oleh itu, beribu tahun dahulu, ahli astronomi awal telah membahagikan bintang mengikut kumpulan dan melukis gambar khayalan seperti kala jengking atau beruang, di sekeliling kumpulan bintang tersebut supaya mudah diingat.

Bintang di dalam sesuatu buruj itu sebenarnya tidak ada kaitan antara satu sama lain. Bintang itu kelihatan berkumpulan tertentu hanya apabila dilihat dari Bumi. Bintang tersebut terletak sungguh jauh hinggakan kelihatan seolah-olah sama jarak masing-masing dari bumi dan bergerak bersama.

The Proto-Malays are believed to be seafarers knowledgeable in oceanography and possessing advanced fishing as well as basic agricultural skills. They moved around from island to island in great distances between New Zealand and Madagascar, and they served as navigation guides, crew and labour to Indian, Arab, Persian and Chinese traders for nearly 2000 years. Over the years, they settled at various places and adopted various cultures and religions as a result of acculturation and interracial and inter-tribal marriages with mos...
