- no.Many people attribute the origins of astronomy to either the Ancient Greeks or Chinese, around 2500 years ago.
The image I posted certainly is the Milky Way, but it was never known as that to the peoples I'm thinking of. At a rough estimate, around 30,000 years ago they called it something else.
It is indeed. The night sky features extensively in Aboriginal Dreaming stories - stories of how the world was created. In many instances, the night sky was a calendar for them - the Emu in the Sky is just one example. At different times of the year it is oriented so that it appears to be either running or sitting down. Depending upon its position, the people knew it was time to either hunt emus for food or to collect their eggs.

was the young boy to whom ‘The Winslow Boy’ was dedicated. Terence Rattigan was having an affair with Channon’s father and was rather taken with the young Paul.
Over to you.
As per usual - get it right when unprepared. At least I've nothing else to do. A question tomorrow
