"If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities; in the expert's mind there are few."

In an age of x-ray telescopes and interplanetary probes it is easy to dismiss pre-scientific cosmologies as naive expressions of fear, hope, and superstition. But, if science teaches us anything, it’s that the pursuit of truth begins and ends with humility. What are the stars? How big is the universe? As readers of this fascinating exploration of humankind’s efforts to map the universe will discover, after 50 centuries the questions remain the same. Only the tools we use to try to answer them have changed.
