Summary of Classical Astronomy


Prerequisites:

None. Occasional references to Physics are linked accordingly.


These are my complete notes for Classical Astronomy, containing basic explanations of Quasars, Constellations, and the Planets (to be fully developed in later sections) and the story of the history of Astronomy, from early interpretations of the stars by ancient Astronomers like Ptolemy and Hipparchus to, yes, Astrology.

I color-coded my notes according to their meaning - for a complete reference for each type of note, see here (also available in the sidebar). All of the knowledge present in these notes has been filtered through my personal explanations for them, the result of my attempts to understand and study them from my classes and online courses. In the unlikely event there are any egregious errors, contact me at jdlacabe@gmail.com.
