Did you know that Dante Alighieri cited the great Iranian (Tajik) astronomer Ahmad al-Farghani (Alfraganus)?
In the 14th-century manuscript of Convivio preserved in the Vatican Library, Dante refers to al-Farghani’s astronomical calculations when discussing Mercury and the Earth.

🎉 Happy Tajik Science Day!

Science is not only about discoveries in labs — it’s about sharing knowledge, fighting misinformation, and helping society make better decisions.

Let’s make science open, accessible, and impactful.

To all scientists: your voice matters. Speak up. 🌍

@hasanshitom Yes, historically, he can be considered Tajik.
In the medieval period, “Tajik” and “Persian” were often synonymous, and Al-Biruni noted that Khwarazmians were part of the Persian world.

Holding the Tajik edition of Kitab al-Tafhim li-Awa'il Sina'at al-Tanjim by Abu Rayhan al-Biruni—a timeless masterpiece bridging medieval science and modern knowledge.

Human beings are not inherently bad, yet the rapid growth of problems in modern social life may push the rules of society toward greater selfishness and harshness. Only the elevating force of education and enlightenment can prevent this.

@SogdiMoschino Most likely, it will be shown after Nowruz.

During my talk at the Institute of Astrophysics of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, I spoke about the history of Tajik astronomy and its contribution to global science.

@ariana_farhad @PhysInHistory Therefore, it is incorrect to restrict ��Iranian” or “Persian” scholars to the territory of present-day Iran. Al-Khwarizmi, like al-Biruni, was born in Khwarizm and regarded himself as a Khwarizmian a branch of the larger Iranian cultural tradition.

[Rizoi Bakhromzod @Bakhromzod]

@ariana_farhad @PhysInHistory In the medieval period, the term “Iran” did not refer to the modern nation-state but to a broad Iranian cultural and historical space (Īrānšahr), which included Khwarizm, Transoxiana, and Khorasan.

Did you know there is a Ferdowsi crater on the surface of Mercury? 🌑
It is named after Hakim Ferdowsi, the author of the Shahnameh.
His legacy lives not only on Earth, but also in space. 🚀📚

Today I returned to where I took my first steps in science – the Physics Faculty of Tajik National University – to talk with students about how the Universe works, the distances to stars and galaxies, and why looking at the night sky means seeing the past.

📖✨ Today Tajikistan celebrates Rudaki Day — honoring Abuabdulloh Rudaki (858–941), the father of Persian-Tajik literature. His poetry of wisdom, beauty & humanism still inspires after 1000+ years. #Rudaki #Tajikistan #PersianLiterature
