What is the relationship between Astronomy and Islam ?
Why were Muslims interested in astronomy?

While responding to these questions in the movie,
it refers to studies and discoveries of 10 muslim scholars who lived in Islamic Golden Age.

The Islamic Golden Age became a melting pot for different ideas and, ultimately, provided much of the knowledge that went on to inspire the great astronomers of the Renaissance to enter our modern world of science.
