About
The All Skies Encyclopaedia is a project initiated and set up by Susanne M Hoffmann as Chair of the IAU Working Group on Star Names, whose members contribute much of the data. IAU WGSN uses the ASE for their work on celestial nomenclature and to share this knowledge for purposes of astronomical education and outreach.
The ASE is thankfully supported
- financially by the Austrian Academy of Science with a research grant for the sub-project "Planetarium Babylonicum",
The preparation (2020-2023) and initial set up (2024-2025) were
- gently supported by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science (FMI) of the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena, Germany, with a temporary postdoc position for teaching and independent research, and eventually by providing a virtual machine for some test set ups
- by the President and Vice President of the University of Jena (2020/1) and the "virtual institute" Michael Stifel Center Jena (2022/3) with three Grants for organising a workshop to discuss the needs and requirements of researchers in cultural astronomy (i.e. ethnology, anthropology, history of knowledge, archaeology ...).
- in 2024, the Research Center for History and Heritage of Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China (Hefei).

Predecessors
This project is a standalone research project but, of course, there had been earlier attempts of this type. In particular, the project "Ancient Skies" by two hobby astronomers, Doris Vickers and Rüdiger Schultz, in Vienna was one of the early attempts to produce such a collection. We particularly acknowledge it, as D. Vickers is a member of our group.
