Abstract

Astronomy is one of the most ancient disciplines of knowledge which has inspired a great deal of human thought. Its study has triggered developments in many fields. Bohr’s atomic model and our idea about the thermonuclear fusion are two of the many examples which have significantly influenced (and will continue to influence) the course of human civilisation.
