Die Geschichte der Astronomie erstreckt sich über mehr als fünftausend Jahre und behandelt grundlegende Fragen der Menschheit. Der Verlauf dieser Wissenschaft wird durch zahlreiche Herausforderungen geprägt, angefangen bei den frühen, weitgehend hypothetischen Zeiten bis hin zu den letzten Jahrzehnten, die von einer nie dagewesenen Fülle an Forschung und finanzieller Unterstützung geprägt sind. Während in der hellenistischen Ära nur wenige Texte überliefert sind, erscheinen heute jährlich zehntausende astronomische Artikel. Diese Entwicklung zeigt, wie sich die Astronomie von einer skizzenhaften Darstellung zu einer komplexen Disziplin gewandelt hat.
