* Title
Almanac during Joseon Dynasty and Reliability of Astronomical Records in the Korean Ancient historical Books
* Abstract
 

 

Almanac in Joseon Dynasty contains astronomical constants, calendar system, apparent motion of the Sun and the Moon, determination of solar and lunar eclipses, and planetary position. Especially it focus on the prediction of solar and lunar eclipse using mathematical technique like as equation of higher degree, trigonometric function, iteration method, and square root. We studied on the calculation method for astronomical phenomena and its characteristics.

There are a lot of astronomical records which are appeared in ancient Korean historical books. We verify appearance of the phenomena using the computer code. The phenomena are classified in several categories that are solar and lunar eclipses, comets, solar activities, meteorites and showers, planets occulted by the Moon, planetary conjunctions, stars approached by planet, observations of Canopus, and so on. It shows the correctness and reality on recorded events.
