Cultures spread around the world recorded their earliest efforts in artwork made directly on the natural landscapes around them, and from there they developed more and more sophisticated techniques for observing and documenting astronomy..This book brings readers on an astronomical journey through the ages, offering a history of how our species has recorded and interpreted the night sky over time. From cave art to parchment scribe to modern X-ray mapping of the sky, it chronicles the ever-quickening development of tools that informed and at times entirely toppled our understanding of the natural world..Our documentation and recording techniques formed the bedrock for increasingly complex forays into astronomy and celestial mechanics, which are addressed within these chapters. Additionally, the book explores how nature itself has recorded the skies in its own way, which can be unraveled through ongoing geological and archaeological studies. .This tale of human discovery and ingenuity over the ages will appeal to anybody interested in the field o | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | history of astronomy; ancient astronomy; astronomy over time; astronomy cave drawings; Mayan astronomy; B | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-31688-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-31687-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-31688-4Series ISSN 1614-659X Series E-ISSN 2197-6651 | issn_series | 1614-659X | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 |
