/kloc-before the 0 th/7 th century, people always observed elephants with the naked eye and studied celestial bodies with some simple measuring instruments, mainly the sun, the moon and the five planets visible to the naked eye. China people used the familiar five elements of fire, water and earth in Jin Mu, and the ancient Greeks and Romans named these planets after their familiar gods. 16 10 years, Galileo invented the astronomical telescope, which broadened people's horizons and saw a new picture of the universe invisible to the naked eye.
From18th century to the first half of19th century, modern astronomy has made great progress. During this period, a complete motion theory of planets, the earth and comets was established, some new planets, satellites of planets and asteroids were discovered, and the observation field was extended from the solar system to other star systems in the Milky Way. /kloc-in the second half of the 9th century, astronomers introduced some new theories and methods in physics at that time into the study of celestial bodies, founded astrophysics, and began the stage of modern astronomy.
After entering the 20th century, great progress has been made in both astrophysical theory and celestial observation methods. In the field of traditional optical astronomy, with the appearance of reflective astronomical telescope, the aperture of astronomical telescope is increasing, which changes the limitations of refractive astronomical telescope in19th century. In 1908, 1.5m mirror, 19 18, 2.5m mirror, 1948, 6m mirror, 1976 and 1993.
