NIGHT SKY

The beauty and the lure of the sky had never left us indifferent. From prehistory to the present day, stars have fascinated people for millennia. Astron in Greek means star and Astronomy is the science of celestial bodies. There is nothing more beautiful than celestial bodies placed above us to watch them and human interest in astronomy dates back to ancient times. Our ancient ancestors kept a very detailed record of the movements of celestial bodies. It included daily, monthly, and annual positions. They formulated theories and followed cycles in an attempt to explain the universe. Theories moved from the mystical and religious to the scientific spectrum until today’s science – ASTRONOMY. The power of the mind and the richness of observed phenomena throughout human history must not be neglected or forgotten.
