How can we test it? Heliacal Rise (HR): First brief sighting of a star rising in the east just before sunrise. Heliacal Set (HS): First brief sighting of a star prior to setting in the west after sunset. Acronychal Rise (AR): First sighting of a star rising in the east just after sunset. Acronychal Set (AS): Last sighting of a star setting in the west just before sunrise. Dawn Meridional Crossing (Mdawn): When a star crosses the meridian at dawn. Dusk Meridional Crossing (Mdusk): When a star crosses the meridian at dusk. TWILIGHT VISIBILITY For 1st magnitude stars: ATMOSPHERIC EXTINCTION Altitude +5 degrees HR,HS,AR,AS Altitude Sun: -10 degrees For 2nd magnitude stars: Altitude Sun: - 14 degrees For 3rd magnitude stars: Altitude Sun: -16 degrees Not relevant for meridional crossings Star Animal Achernar Dingo Mother Altair Crow Mother Antares Black Cockatoo Arcturus Red Back Spider Canopus Owlet Nightjar Crux Wedge-Tailed Eagle Delphinus Crow Chicks Pleiades Thorny Devil Vega Bustard Within 2 weeks Within 4 weeks Within 6 weeks More than 6 weeks Lifecycle Mating Birthing Whelping Mating/Laying Hatching Fledging Mating/Laying Hatching Fledging Mating/Laying Hatching Mating/Laying Hatching Fledging Torpor Mating/Laying Hatching Fledging Laying Hatching Fledging Mating/Laying Hatching Mating/Laying Hatching Fledging Correlation of Stellar Aspect with Lifecycle* AS AS AS HR HR HR Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn AS AS AS AS AR AR AR HR HR HR Mdusk Mdusk HR HR HR HR HR HR Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn AR AR AR AS AS Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn HS HS Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn HS HS HS AS AS AS AS AS AS AR AR HR HR HR HR AS AS AS AS AS AS HR HR AS AS AS Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn AR AR AR Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk HS HS HS HS Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk AR AR AR Mdawn Mdawn AR AR AR AR AR AR Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk HS HS HS HS HS Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn Mdawn HR HR HR Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk AR AR Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk Mdusk HS HS HS HR HR HR HR HR AR AR AR AR HS HS HS HS HS HS AS AS HS HS HS
