Event
Observatory's End
Shortly after the astronomers at Observatory of Taqī ad-Dīn made their predictions regarding the meaning of the great comet, parts of the Flavor Rank were beset by a plague. Loud voices among the people of Capital Location now claim that the observatory itself is an ungodly thing, an ill omen. The Sublime Porte was foolish, they say, for ever believing in it. All over the Flavor Rank, people now call for the observatory's destruction.

7770historical_info = flavor_tur.105.historical_info While the closure of the observatory in Constantinople in 1580 has sometimes been blamed on religious outrage among the public, it was rather a matter of politics. Taqī ad-Dīn had made enemies among many minor members of the bureaucracy and the 'Ulamā', who wanted to put him on trial for heresy. The observatory thus only survived for a few years, a great loss for the science of astronomy in the Muslim world.
