In 1972 Apollo 17 took humans to the moon for the last time, but in the next few years, NASA is planning a return trip with a human crew on Artemis 3. With the dawn of civilian space exploration through companies like SpaceX and the launch of the most powerful telescope in history, the James Webb Space Telescope, our fascination with the cosmos is being rekindled, but this is only the latest in the long story of our curiosity about space.
In this book you will discover the earliest theories about the movement of the planets. Nearly three-thousand years ago philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero were hypothesizing about the nature of the heavens, and Lucian of Samosata was writing the first science fiction novel.
