The Development Of Astronomy In Ancient Babylon
Ancient Babylonian astronomers made significant contributions to the field, developing sophisticated methods for observing and predicting celestial phenomena. They created detailed star catalogs, tracked planetary movements, and developed mathematical models to predict eclipses. Babylonian astronomical knowledge, documented in cuneiform texts, demonstrates their understanding of celestial mechanics and their contributions to the development of astronomy.
