History It is believed that the first pretelesopic astronomers were the China Chinese due to conclusive evidence such as the Gan Shi Xing Jing the oldest recorded star catalog which was produced during the 5th century BCE . This primitive form of astronomy was once considered a rather crucial facet to very science and technology in China so crucial, in fact, that if a Chinese astronomer were to inaccurately predict the occurrence of a comet or eclipse , he would be subsequently ordered to a beheading by the Chinese hierarchy . Notwithstanding the Chinese being considered among the first to document stellar activity, some of the oldest observatory observatories on Earth are still extant throughout various regions of Korea , Egypt , Republic of Macedonia Macedonia , Great Britain , Cambodia , et cetera. Although despite the pretelescopic observatories boasted by the previously ennumerated nations, China also boasts its own rather impressive observatories such as the Beijing Ancient Observatory an advanced facility constructed during the 13th century equipped with an array of revolutionary instruments including an armillary sphere , a Quadrant instrument quadrant ... telescopes existed during the age of many pretelescopic observatories, the apparatus was, indeed ... planets Chinese astronomy Archaeoastronomy References reflist Hetherington, Barry 1992 A Chronicle of Pre Telescopic Astronomy , John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 In astronomy , dropout is a radiation source whose radiation intensity falls off sharply above a specific wavelength . The source will be easily visible when its light is filtered to wavelengths longer than the cutoff value, but will drop out of the image when it is filtered to wavelengths shorter than the threshold. This is a standard method for locating distant galaxies in Hubble Deep Field deep field images . Because the hydrogen that surrounds the galaxies absorbs light with a wavelength around 100 nanometers, the galaxies have a natural dropout threshold. The exact wavelength of this threshold is redshift ed and can be used to determine the distance to the galaxy.

Galactic astronomy is the study of our own Milky Way galaxy and all its contents. This is in contrast to extragalactic astronomy , which is the study of everything outside our galaxy, including all other galaxies. Galactic astronomy should not be confused with galaxy formation and evolution , which is the general study of galaxy galaxies , their formation, structure, components, dynamics, interactions, and the range of forms they take. Our own Milky Way galaxy, where our solar system belongs, is in many ways the best studied galaxy, although important parts of it are obscured from view in visible wavelength s by regions of cosmic dust . The development of radio astronomy , infrared astronomy and submillimeter astronomy in the 20th Century allowed the gas and dust of the Milky Way to be mapped for the first time.
