pub static DECANS: [Decan; 36]
Expand description

The 36 Egyptian stellar decans, each spanning 10 degrees of the ecliptic.

Names are reconstructed from the Seti I cenotaph at Abydos and the tomb of Senenmut. The ecliptic longitudes are approximate, as the Egyptian decan system was sidereal, not tropical.
