None.

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.

NOTE: This section differs from other categories on the site and within Astronomy itself, because the Rules are written more narratively and are much less dense in their information. This is only the case for Classical Astronomy, which deals with many of the characters that existed throughout the early developments of Astronomy, like Ptolemy, Galileo, and Kepler.

I color-coded my notes according to their meaning - All numbered notes (which I call rules) are red, and include examples and the basis for understanding a topic. Definitions are written in green, and other important information (such as large-scale drawings that are better visualized than explained) was written in blue. All of this information is preserved on this page, with logical flow and breaks. I use ascii line drawings sparingly - If I can convey information or a graph using an image online, I will do so.

All of the knowledge present in these notes are filtered through my personal explanations for them, the result of my attempts to understand and study them from my classes. In the unlikely event there are any egregious errors, contact me at jdlacabe@gmail.com.
