The term "heliacal" was first used by ancient Greek astronomers to describe the first or last appearance of a star or planet in the sky at sunrise or sunset. This was an important observation for marking the seasons and for agricultural purposes.
Over time, the term "heliacal" came to be used more generally to refer to any celestial object that is visible near the horizon at sunrise or sunset.
