What did ancient humans know about the cosmos and the celestial bodies? The sky above us has brought awe for all and has been used for navigation and time tracking since pre-historical times. In this talk, we'll look at the story of astronomy, the oldest science, and talk about the incredible measurements, observations and theories that early civilizations did, from tracking the motion of planets and stars, to creating the first calendars.
