The first astronomer known to systematically map the stars was the ancient Greek philosopher and astronomer Hipparchus, who lived around 190 to 120 BCE. He created a star catalog that classified and ranked stars based on their brightness and position, laying the groundwork for future astronomical studies. Additionally, earlier cultures, such as the Babylonians, had also created star maps, but Hipparchus is often credited for his more systematic approach.
