Summary

The book is the last, perhaps the most interesting work of the author, Professor Vladimir Shkodrov, a scientist with a long creative path dedicated to astronomy, also known as the author of interesting popular books. "Studies in the History of Astronomy" is not a detailed exposition of all astronomical achievements over the centuries. This is a fascinating story that covers the most important and interesting moments in the development of this science for more than two millennia. The book is interesting not only with little-known facts in our country (for example, about Napoleon's academic career and Laplace's police career), but also with the original interpretation of the events described.
