Astronomy was discovered by Ancient peoples in Africa as a way of telling time. The ancient Egyptians used star risings as a way to measure the night time,..the evening and the morning was the first day Genesis 1:5.

Later the Egyptians used Astronomy to predict the seasons of the year and the timing of the year. There was a stone calendar in 6500 BCE.

Astronomy can be said to be the first science man developed.
