Description
- The grandmother tells Maryam and her sister Noor a story about a red dragon that swallows the sun, but it never reaches its end.
- Maryam and Noor eagerly await the end of the story until one day Sulaiman, the bully boy, tries to steal the astrolabe from their father’s workshop.
- Since Maryam is fascinated by astronomy and stars, she uses the story of the red dragon and her knowledge in sun and moon tracking to predict Sulaiman’s actions and prevent him from stealing the astrolabe.
- The story is fictional but woven against the historical background of the figure of the scientist Maryam Al-Asturlabiyya, who developed the astrolabe and laid the foundation for the GPS navigation system we currently use.
