التنين نجم من نجوم السماء وليس بكوكب، ولكنه بياض خفي في السماء يكون جسده في ستة بروج، وذنبه في البرج السابع دقيق أسود، فيه التواء وهو يتنقل تنقل الكواكب الجواري، وفارسيته في حساب النجوم هشتنبر، وهو من النحوس.

The dragon is a star among the stars of the sky, not a planet, but rather a hidden whiteness in the sky whose body is in six constellations, and its tail is in the seventh constellation, slender and black, with a twist, and it moves like the wandering stars. Its Persian name in astronomical calculation is Hashtanbar, and it is considered inauspicious.
