The Astronomy report covers the history of the field, and explains that it has been around for as long as humans. Prehistoric people were known to sue the stars as a way to tell the time, with the moon’s phases marking the months on a calendar.
With its origins in the Ancient Greek words astro, meaning star, and nomia, meaning law, the science dates back tens of thousands of years. The earliest astronomers worked without telescopes, while today the use them to study objects that can’t be seen with the naked eye.
It was through astronomy that Ancient Chinese practitioners figured out that the year was 365 1/4 days long, and helped people to understand that the earth travels around the sun.
Full details of the history of the science and its most famous practitioners can be found on the URL above.
