Hypsomata

Hypsoma (Babylonian nisirti ašar or bit nisirti; "hidden place"; pl. hypsomata) is a Greek word indicating the ecliptic high point of a celestial body, as seen from Earth (geocentric perspective). In Babylonian astronomy (wherein we have the prime mention of the phenomenon) the hypsomata of stars and planets are described in the Astrolabe B and in the ^mul.APIN: each star of Ea's path has its special hypsoma.
