Astronomy tablets

Astronomy tablets are ancient clay or stone artifacts inscribed with early astronomical observations, calculations, and data. Created by civilizations like the Babylonians around 2000 BCE, these tablets record details such as star positions, lunar cycles, and planetary movements. They are valuable for understanding the development of astronomy and how early cultures tracked celestial events for agriculture, navigation, and religious purposes. These tablets laid the groundwork for modern astronomy by documenting systematic observations that contributed to the understanding of the cosmos.
