Classical Astronomy is….

The Quadrivium:

The ancient foundation of all modern science.

Calendar Systems:

The basis for all pre-industrial calendars, including the Hebrew and Gregorian.

The Almanack Tradition:

Planting and harvesting in Colonial America and the early Republic.

Celestial Navigation:

Finding direction and global position from the heavenly bodies.

Defined in Scripture:

The Biblical purpose for which the Sun & Moon were created (Gen. 1:14)

Down through human history, the ancient Classical Astronomy tradition was passed down... from father to son, teacher to student, mentor to protégé... each night under the sky. This chain was broken in the 19th century with the modern industrial era. The tradition is lost, the sky forgotten… until now.
