Details
Babylonian astronomy refers to the astronomical theories and methods that were developed in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), particularly in Babylonia but inheriting earlier concepts developed in Sumer. Babylonian astronomy was the basis for much of the astronomical traditions that later developed in Greek and Hellenistic astronomy, in classical Indian astronomy, in Sassanid astronomy, in Byzantine and Syrian astronomy, in medieval Islamic astronomy, and in Western European astronomy. The origins of Western astronomy can be found in Mesopotamia. In the course of the last few decades it has become increasingly clear that all Western efforts in the exact sciences are descendants in direct line from the work of the Late Babylonian astronomers. Our knowledge of Sumerian astronomy is indirect, via the earliest Babylonian star catalogues dating from about 1200 BC. The fact that many star names appear in Sumerian suggests a continuity reaching into the Early Bronze Age. During the 8th and 7th centuries BC, Babylonian astronomers developed a new empirical approach to astronomy.
