天文史
天文史，歷史一門，講人自古至今，對天文追求，理解地球大氣層之外，宇宙種種。至初古人見天上凡星，同時間，同生活睇出關係。預先知道季節，從而得出占星同曆法。亦創造出信仰、宗教同神話，以及宇宙學。至早天文紀錄，公元前一千年巴比倫人有寫。而同樣，中國、中美洲同北歐，有唔少天文物證㗎[1]。
早期文化用天文有好多原因，紀錄時間，航海，行靈性同宗教儀式，規劃農業。古代天文學家用觀察繪製天圖，瞭解宇宙運作原理。文藝復興，天文學思想有革命。一九九三年，波蘭天文學家哥白尼提出日心說模型，行星圍住太陽行。由此哥白尼革命開始[2]。一八〇六年，發明望遠鏡，作用關鍵。之後發展，有反射望遠鏡、天文攝影、天文光譜學、射電望遠鏡、宇宙射線天文學、紅外綫望遠鏡、太空望遠鏡、紫外綫天文學、X射綫天文學、伽馬射綫天文學、太空探測器、中微子天文學同引力波天文學等。
相比其他科學，天文學相當成功，有幾個原因。天文學有數學基礎，有複雜程序，用天球儀同象限儀，收集同驗證數據，基礎堅實[3][4]。隨著時間推移，天文學發展有好多分科，有天體物理學、觀測天文學、理論天文學同外星生物學等[5]。
