Astronomy as a discipline has been
URLhistorically limited by observations.
Our ancestors made detailed records
of a sky where thousands of stars
could be identified—this number is
decreasing as a consequence of light pollution [see
UNAM Internacional 3, p. 108]. Later on, we were
able to reach very faint and distant objects thanks
to the invention of the telescope in the 17th century.
It was now possible to observe not only bright stars
but fainter stars, nebulae, and also incomprehensibly distant galaxies.
