## 1 Introduction

Astronomy may well be the oldest science with archaeological findings from around the world demonstrating that the heavens have occupied mankind's thoughts from the very dawn of civilization. With only primitive tools and a rudimentary understanding of mathematics, the ancient Greeks learned how to predict the position of the planets and even made early estimates of the distance to the Sun, Moon, and stars. Astronomy, however, has come a long way since those early beginnings. With the advent of the personal computer, amateurs today can make astronomical calculations and predictions that the ancients could only dream of.
