Barry Scott Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hello, Tonight i was quickly looking at the night sky, looking at constellations, the moon etc. I just thought to myself who should i be thanking for this. Well if God actually made the universe im sure i should thank him, but who discovered astronomy, who first realised the beauty of the sky. I know the Greeks had a big influence on astronomy, i think the Chineese and even Aztecs also were interested in astronomy. Should we even thank evolution for giving us the brains that are able to realise the potential of the sky. Maybe even Hubble, my question is, who does or has done the most for astronomy?Your thoughts... :eek2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
