Early Observations

Astronomy is one of the oldest natural sciences. Evidence of astronomical observations and celestial phenomenon can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as the Babylonians, Egyptians, and ancient Chinese. Their records laid the groundwork for modern astronomy.

The Renaissance Revolution

The Renaissance period marked a significant turn with figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler. They challenged the geocentric model and helped popularize the heliocentric theory, changing our understanding of the universe forever! The innovation of the telescope further fueled astronomical discoveries.

Modern Astronomy

Today, we have observatories on Earth and telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit, expanding our view into the distant universe. From black holes to distant galaxies, modern astronomy continues to reveal the mysteries of the cosmos!
