The Chinese astronomers generated fantastically accurate measurements of time and charted unusual cosmological phenomena, such
as novae, comets and meteor showers. This makes their work important to the development of the history of astronomy, and their ideas filtered down the Silk Road into the Middle East and Europe. Ancient Chinese kept records of a wide range of celestial events, including solar and lunar eclipses, sunspots, comets and meteors, guest stars (nova or supernova), planetary events, aurora borealis etc.

How do you use Copernicus contribution?
Copernicus' contribution to astronomy was the heliocentric model, which placed the sun at the center of the solar system instead of Earth. This model revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern astronomy. Scientists continue to build upon Copernicus' work to further explore the universe.
What contributions to modern astronomy were made by Chinese and Islamic astronomers during the Dark Ages of medieval Europe?
Chinese astronomers during the Dark Ages made advancements in observational astronomy, such as developing a sophisticated system of recording star positions and predicting celestial events. Islamic astronomers translated and built upon ancient Greek and Indian knowledge, contributing to advancements in trigonometry, astrolabes, and the development of the scientific method in astronomy. Both cultures played important roles in preserving and expanding astronomical knowledge during this period.
