Oneself and the love of knowledge; thus philosophy includes religion, psychology, economics and politics
A thousand million years is equivalent to one billion years. In astronomy, this timescale is often used to refer to the age of objects in the universe, such as stars and galaxies. The concept of a billion years helps astronomers understand the long-term evolution and history of celestial bodies.
No, It is the science that attempts to understand the history and the make-up of the universe. In other words, astronomy is not just the study of stars, it is pretty much all of the universe and all of space.
Many "professional" astronomers seem to get into astronomy by the back door; they had other useful skills and were in the right place at the right time. No matter how you get in, you'll need a strong grounding in mathematics, a good knowledge of physics, and EXCELLENT computer skills. Some background in engineering disciplines wouldn't hurt.
Oceanography has its formal beginning in the 1800s with studies by Darwin, Cook, and Thompson. This field focuses on the study of the ocean, its processes, ecosystems, and interactions with the atmosphere, land, and living organisms. Geology, meteorology, and astronomy also have long histories, but their formal beginnings can be traced back to earlier periods.

No; there were nations with a central Government as far back as the ancient Egyptians and Assyrians, so several thousand years back.
No Buddhism was established about 500 BCE. Hinduism has roots going back several thousand years before that.
but the study of economics dates back only a few hundred years.
Make that several thousand years!

To answer a question we need a what, who, when, where, why, or how question. We have no idea when “back then” is or where. It could be five years ago or 5 thousand years ago.
How can it be? It is however over a thousand years with origins dating back to as early as the third century.
They went back home for the first time in two thousand years, to Israel.
Astronomy did not really benefit the dark ages. Back then they relied more on ASTROLOGY. It was not until the Renaissance that people started devising a difference between astrology and astronomy, and consequently started making headway in astronomy.
Charlotte Barnum is a famous mathematician who was born in Massachusetts in the 1800's. She originally went to school to study astronomy, but went back to college in 1890 to study mathematics. Thereafter, she moved to Yale and became the first woman to have a Ph.D. in mathematics before 1900.
Absolutely ! British history can be traced back over a thousand years, while other countries can only go back a few hundred ! I'm proud to be British - and fascinated to know how my country has evolved over the last thousand years.
