Summary
The first documented records of systematic astronomical observations data back to the Assyro-Babylonians around 1000BCE. If you don’t take into account celestial tomes. Then you’re going back 6000 years. The Greeks, of course, were very clever and knew the Earth was the centre of the universe, without the need to step foot off-planet. Later, they knew that actually the Sun is more distant than our Moon, and that perceived brightness tells us this. With the right calculator and a couple of other factors, it can also tell us its age. Or how close it is to dying.
