Time in the Maragheh Observatory
Before joining in the Maghrib observatory, Muhyi al-Dīn al-Maghribī had worked for King Nasir of Damascus. This relationship was ultimately cut short when in 1257, the king was killed by the Mongols in the Siege of Aleppo conflict. It was after this that Muhyi al-Dīn al-Maghribī was sent to Maragheh to work alongside Nasir al-Din al-Tusi in the acclaimed observatory, and continued to work on his numerous observations until his death in 1283. During his time at the observatory, the amount of observations conducted by al-Maghribī was extensive, observing up to a total of eight of the brightest stars, of which he used the latitudes collected to compare with the values within ancient computations. He concluded that the difference between his latitudes and ancients were not substantial, and any inconsistences were in fact due to the observations and not the subject itself. In Muhyi al-Dīn al-Maghribī's Talkhīṣ al‐Majisṭī, he commentates on Ptolemy's Almagest, presenting his own observations and hypothesizes in addition with it. For instance, al-Maghribī supposed that the precession would only occur in a motion that was uniform and continuous at a rate that was 1° for ever 66 years from his systematic stellar observations.
