Abstract
In AD 1054, Chinese astronomer Yang Wei-De observed a guest star (k’o-hsing) in the constellation T’ien-kuan (near ζ Tauri), yellow in colour. He interpreted its brightness as a heavenly sign that there was”a person of great worth”, a hypothesis willingly accepted by the Emperor. Yang Wei-De noted the brightness and colour changes of the guest-star which became what is now known as the Crab Nebula.
“... directly overhead, a certain strange star was suddenly seen, flashing its light with a radiant gleam and it struck my eyes ... I began to doubt the faith of my own eyes, and so ... I asked [the servants] whether they too could see a certain extremely bright star ... They immediately replied ... that they saw it completely.” Tycho Brahe, Astronomiae Instauratae Progymnasmata (1602)
