That was a fascinating read! Thanks for posting.
TLDR: A new study suggests that the **Star Manual of Master Shi**, an ancient Chinese star catalog, may be the **oldest known star chart**, dating back to **355 BCE**, over **two centuries earlier** than previously believed. Researchers used **artificial intelligence** to analyze the manuscript, revealing that it was later updated around **125 CE**, making it a **composite of two distinct eras**. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about the origins of structured celestial mapping and places early Chinese astronomy at the forefront of astronomical history.
Interesting. Honestly if you asked me a few minutes ago I would have thought star charts were even much older than that. Since we had some idea of celestial events and calendars long before that
