Astrology to Astronomy - The Study of the Night Sky from Ptolemy to Copernicus - With Biographies and Illustrations
About this book
For countless millennia humans have read the future in the night sky and seen the effects of celestial movement here on Earth, this was astrology, the very first attempt to understand the stars and planets. In a very short amount of time mankind has come from the practice of astrology through the work of countless great men and women to the fully fledged scientific study of astronomy and cosmology. This book follows the train of thought and discovery taken by a few people. Including biographies of Ptolemy and Copernicus.
