a.observational astronomy
focused in acquiring data from observation which analized by the aids of basics principles of physics.
b.Theoritical astronomy
oriented toward the development computer or analitical models to descrides astronomical objects and phenomena.
Some contribution of early civilization;
Babylonian-beginning of mathematical and scientific astronomy, they discovered the lunar eclipse recorded in repeating cycleknoun as ''saros''
