As a teenager I found that the names of stars are nearly all Arabic. I didn't know much about Arabs except oil and what the media told me. I researched and found about the seminal role of Arabic in my field. Two-third of the stars that have names, have Arabic names.

I was exploring this as a teenager and it lead me to the golden age of Islam (between AD 800 - 1200)."
