There was a little black spot on the sun 400 years ago Ever since humans figured out how to walk on two legs, we have looked to the cosmos and wondered what celestial objects illuminate our night skies and how we all fit into it. The Greek polymath Eratosthenes, for example, was the first person to calculate the circumference and axial tilt of Earth. Nicolaus Copernicus created one of the first models of the universe that was sun-centric instead of...
