17 de jun. de 2024 · Astronomy, science that encompasses the study of all extraterrestrial objects and phenomena. Since the late 19th century, astronomy has expanded to include astrophysics, the application of physical and chemical knowledge to an understanding of the nature of celestial objects.
Ptolemy’s model of an Earth-centred universe (2nd century ad) influenced astronomical thought for over 1,300 years. In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus assigned the central position to the Sun (see Copernican system), ushering in the age of modern astronomy.
The earliest written records were astronomical observations. In 1600 B.C. Babylonians recorded the positions of stars and planets and the times of eclipses. The history of astronomy since then has been a complex interplay of philosophy and science.
