# A Journey Through Astronomical History ## Ancient Observations Early civilizations across the globe meticulously observed the night sky, using celestial movements to track time, seasons, and even predict events. Stonehenge and Mayan observatories are testaments to this ancient fascination. ### Early Models of the Universe From geocentric models (Earth at the center) proposed by Ptolemy to the heliocentric (Sun at the center) revolution initiated by Copernicus, humanity's understanding of the cosmos has undergone profound shifts. ## The Age of Telescopes Galileo's use of the telescope marked a turning point, revealing moons orbiting Jupiter and phases of Venus, providing crucial evidence for the heliocentric model. Subsequent advancements led to discoveries of galaxies, nebulae, and distant stars. ### Modern Astronomy Today, powerful telescopes on Earth and in space, like the Hubble and James Webb, continue to push the boundaries of our knowledge, exploring exoplanets, black holes, and the origins of the universe.
