Nu Sagittarii
The Bayer designation Nu Sagittarii (Nu Sgr, ν Sagittarii, ν Sgr) is shared by two star systems, ν1 Sagittarii and ν2 Sagittarii, in the zodiac constellation Sagittarius. The two stars are separated by 0.23° in the sky.

ν1 Sagittarii

ν2 Sagittarii

Nu Sagittarii has the traditional name Ain al Rami, which is from the Arabic عين الرامي  cain ar-rāmī meaning eye of the archer. Both of the ν stars, together with τ Sgr, ψ Sgr, ω Sgr, 60 Sgr and ζ Sgr were Al Udḥiyy, the Ostrich's Nest. Nu Sagittarii is often cited as one of the earliest identified double stars. In the Almagest, Ptolemy describes the star as "nebulous and double", referring to the double nature of the star.

Almagest
The Almagest (/ˈælmədʒɛst/ AL-mə-jest) is a 2nd-century mathematical and astronomical treatise on the apparent motions of the stars and planetary paths, written by Claudius Ptolemy (c. AD 100 – c. 170) in Koine Greek. One of the most influential scientific texts in history, it canonized a geocentric model of the Universe that was accepted for more than 1,200 years from its origin in Hellenistic Alexandria, in the medieval Byzantine and Islamic worlds, and in Western Europe through the Middle Ages and early Renaissance until Copernicus. It is also a key source of information about ancient Greek astronomy.

Ptolemy set up a public inscription at Canopus, Egypt, in 147 or 148. Norman T. Hamilton found that the version of Ptolemy's models set out in the Canopic Inscription was earlier than the version in the Almagest. Hence the Almagest could not have been completed before about 150, a quarter-century after Ptolemy began observing.

Adoration of the Magi (Rembrandt)
The Adoration of the Magi is a painting of c. 1632 to 1633 recently attributed to Rembrandt.

It was recognized as an original in 2016 after it fell off the wall at the home of its owners in Rome. They took it to be restored as the fall damaged the frame.

The work was thought to have been lost and has been known only from copies in the Hermitage Museum and the Gothenburg Museum of Art.
