Impression of Astronomy in Persian Culture and History Inspired by Poems of Khayam: Mahdi Rokni at the OAE's 3rd Shaw-IAU Workshop

There is a huge connection between science, nature and literature with Persian culture in Iran. If you look into Iran’s history and search in many places or read Persian poems you can find a lots of astronomy knowledge. Some of Iranian great poets have been also astronomers such as Khayam or they became mystics like Attar Nishaburi. This is about stories and people who lived in different ages or lived at the same age together and they have had a huge impression on Persian culture. it can also separate science, literature and mysticism from each other.
