Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about the heavens. But man was limited by what he could see with his eyes alone.The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,(MX) years ago. They could see the size, color, and brightness of a star. They could see its place in the sky. They watched the stars move as the seasons changed. But the Greeks had no tools to help them study the heavens.Each new tool added to the field of astronomy helped man reach out into space. Until there were telescope (望远镜),man knew little about the moon. He did not know that the planet called Satum(土星)had rings around it. His sight was so limited that he could not see all the planets. In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets. Pluto(冥王星), the last of nine planets to be discovered was not seen until 1930.Before the spectroscope(分光器),man did not know what kind of gases were in the sun or other stars. Without the radio telescope (射电望远镜)we did not know that radio noises came from far out in space.Today, astronomy is a growing science.
