Abstract
Since the dawn of consciousness, humanity has sought to make sense of the surrounding universe by observing the world and recording what is seen. Paleolithic figurines and cave paintings testify silently to early attempts to find meaning in what seemed to be chaos. While some phenomena could be explored by multiple senses, the sky above with its immovable and movable objects was only observable by vision.
