Unlocking the Mysteries of the Skies

Unlocking the Mysteries of the Skies

Man has always been fascinated by space. Aristotle was one of those early philosophers who studied the skies.

At those times, majority of mankind believed that the Earth was the Center of the Universe. According to this belief of theirs, the Sun, the Moon, the Jupiter and the other Planets and Stars, all revolved around the Earth.

Men also connected the movement of stars and the stuff, with certain events on earth. For example, the Zodiac Signs, and other Astrological beliefs. Ancient Greeks worshipped personifications of planets and stars, like Jupiter (or Jova), which was considered to be the King of all Deities, in Roman Myth, and was known as Zeus in the Greek Myth. Saturn, in Roman Myth: or Corus, as per the Greek Myth: was the father of Zeus. Such was what the ancient people knew of space.

With the growth of technology, Mankind’s eyes opened wide and they began to see space with a new point of view. This, however was a process gradual.

In the middle of the Second Millennium, Galileo Galilei pointed the telescope, for the first time, towards the sky, and ended up proving the Sun to be the Solar System’s center: a discovery which was not accepted by many, and Galileo was, before long, imprisoned by the Catholic Church. Today, Mankind agrees with the late Galileo Galilei.

The Nineteenth-Century was full of Sci-fi works, which transported man to the mysterious world which lay outside the visible sky. Jules Verne, imagined mankind on the Moon. The age being that of writers, many works were produced, dreaming of man in space.

The Twentieth-Century bought these imaginations to life.

And today, Man is ready to return to even colonize other planets.

Who really knows??? The next day, you and I might be UNLOCKING THE MYSTERIES OF THE SKIES.
