Where was astronomy located?

Answer 1

Astronomy is not a thing; it is the study of outer space so you really can't invent it. The earliest humans studied the sky, so if it could be considered invented, it was many, many millenia ago.

Answer 2

There weren't really any first astronomers who developed Astronomy. The ancient Greeks have been known to contribute to Astronomy- in fact, we get the word 'Zodiac' from them (Zodiac= Greek for 'Wheel of life'). Then, of course, there are women who have contributed to Astronomy, discovering asteroids and content such as that.

One of the famous astronomers was Ptolemy, who proposed the theory that the Earth was in the center of all the planets in the solar system and every planet (including our star, the Sun) orbited the Earth. Everyone believed this theory until everything changed with a theory created by a man named Nicolas Copernicus. He proposed that the Sun was in the center all the solar system's planets and that all the planets orbited the Sun. However, nobody believed him then- they thought he was against The Bible and that Ptolemy's Earth-centered model was 100% accurate. It wasn't until sometime after Copernicus' death that everyone realized that Copernicus was correct and that the planets all orbited the Sun.

Answer 3

Nobody really knows when astronomy was first "created" because it goes back to before written records were kept! People have even found cave drawings of what would seem to be the supernova that created the Crab Nebula, over 1,000 years ago!

Answer 4

Astronomy wasn't really invented. Humans have a history with astronomy and it goes back to our early days.

"In early times, astronomy only comprised the observation and predictions of the motions of objects visible to the naked eye. In some locations, such as Stonehenge, early cultures assembled massive artifacts that likely had some astronomical purpose. In addition to their ceremonial uses, these observatories could be employed to determine the seasons, an important factor in knowing when to plant crops, as well as in understanding the length of the year.[8]

Before tools such as the telescope were invented, early study of the stars had to be conducted from the only vantage points available, namely tall buildings and high ground using the naked eye. As civilizations developed, most notably in Mesopotamia, China, Egypt, Greece, India, and Central America, astronomical observatories were assembled, and ideas on the nature of the universe began to be explored"

Answer 5

Astronomy is a branch of science that is located within the field of physics. It involves the study of celestial objects, such as stars, planets, and galaxies, as well as phenomena that occur outside Earth's atmosphere. Astronomers use telescopes and other instruments to observe and study these objects and events.

Answer 6

It was located in the brains of astronomers.
