Astronomy- A Historical Saga: Intro

Physics: A language to define everything
Astronomy/ Astro-science: Explaining Heavens


Humans are the greatest living creatures in this planet and yet, in this universe, too. They are great, because, they question everything. From the day our species have arrived in this planet, they started to question, attempted to know the nature. The sky amazed them. They thought earth as a flat place covered with that huge tomb, called, the sky. They started to think, what is supposed to be outside of this huge tomb!Humans first invented fire. Then frequently, they created so many technologies that are beyond words. Today, the planet where we live is half created by us, the human being. Our ancestors only had curiosity to know, what's beyond that sky. They also kept the records of the positions of sun, moon and the stars in order to count seasons. But today we have the technology that enables us to think beyond our imagination. We have satellites, rockets, space shuttle and even more technologies which were only in dreams of our ancestors. Today we are living in an age where, what we dream today, is reality tomorrow. Welcome to the space age!Science, which was born through fire, in our hands, today we took it to a huge level, the cosmic level. Today, we are attempting to travel through cosmos. We are about to be cosmic migrators. But the scientific knowledge we have today, is not gained in a day. There are many legends behind this, which gifted us such a wonderful planet today.The chain of the scientific masterminds starts from Aristotle, but it is still getting bigger. Because, everyday new inventions are taking place in the chain and new scientists are rising.
