#Astronomy is regarded as the oldest of all sciences.
The ‘study’ of astronomy started when our predecessors realised that sunrise happens in one direction and sunset in the other, and that the Moon has a different shape (phase) each day.

-In that way, the sense of astronomy may even predate the invention of the wheel or control over fire.
Astronomy may even be older than the idea of language itself. The figure below shows a beautiful image, possibly of the Sun God, with indications of four seasons...

Can it be called news if it’s billions of years from happening? Actually the new result is the gorgeous discovery by @Sydney_Uni of 2 previous galaxy collisions in Andromeda’s past making it even larger for the one with us!
The infalling smaller galaxies into Andromeda arrived in two vastly different directions, which is a prediction of the cosmic web where galaxies and gas flow along filaments into intersection points or nodes - and those nodes contain galaxies like Andromeda!
The stretching of dark matter filaments across millions of light years that link galaxies into a cosmic web long predicted in supercomputer simulations like Illustris 👇
It’s #WorldSpaceWeek! @CityClassroom & 60 young people at #FolvilleJunior & @CatherineJunio5 in Leicester have been exploring @spacecentre. Here's the amazing #poem they wrote w/ @SpozPoet inspired by Space & Truth. Artwork: @Wickedlander #WSW2019 #NationalPoetryDay THREAD: 1/30
