He's an ancient Greek guy. What he did as an "astronomy scientist" is, mostly, screw up the science of astronomy for nearly two thousand years.
The Greeks were real big on coming up with things they thought ought to be true, and then assuming that they weretrue, and writing books based on that. Sometimes, they actually got it right (or at least close to right), but Ptolemy didn't have a particularly good track record in that regard.
