The Sky Map of Ancient Nineveh, 3300 B.C.
The origins of Western astronomy can be found in Mesopotamia, and all Western efforts in the exact sciences are descendants in direct line from the work of the late Babylonian astronomers. This circular cuneiform tablet is a reproduction after a Sumerian star map, which perfectly matches the sky above Mesopotamia, in 3300 B.C.
It is an astrolabe, one of the oldest tools used for locating and predicting the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars. Some call this the Sodom and Gomorrah Tablet because it describes a comet/asteroid which some think destroyed Sodoma and Gomorrah around 3300 B.C.

If you want to learn a liiiitle bit of astronomy(or just like the stars), this might come in handy ^^
Fun fact: Yesterday I told one of my friends to get me into an astronomy club (I know awesome) and sadly there are too many people already. I guess the universe didn’t want it to happen.
