Hipparchus' theories laid the groundwork for modern astronomy, particularly in the fields of celestial mechanics and the development of star catalogs. While many of his specific models and methods have been refined or replaced by contemporary science, his contributions to positional astronomy and his introduction of trigonometry in astronomical calculations remain relevant. His work influenced later astronomers and is still acknowledged in the history of science, although modern technology and theories have vastly expanded our understanding of the cosmos.
