Written on
Chapter 1: The Evolution of Astronomy
The field of astronomy has significantly progressed since the time of Galileo Galilei, who first observed the Milky Way. The transformation of our understanding of the cosmos is remarkable, with humanity’s relationship with the stars evolving over centuries.
As the ancients gazed up at the night sky, they were filled with wonder, contemplating the vastness of the universe for hours on end.
Space was once an uncharted territory for humans, but today, it feels as accessible as a journey to Kathmandu. Galileo, hailed as the father of astronomy, would be astounded by our achievements, such as sending rockets to Mars, not to mention the advent of electric vehicles.
