11th century astronomy

In the 11th century, astronomy was mainly guided by Islamic scholars and their texts, which preserved and expanded upon earlier Greek and Indian knowledge. They improved star charts, studied planetary movements, and made precise observations with advanced instruments like astrolabes. This period saw the development of more accurate models of the solar system and deeper understanding of celestial mechanics. Their work laid important groundwork that would influence later astronomers in the Middle Ages and beyond, bridging ancient traditions with future scientific discoveries.
