Astronomy is one of the few sciences where amateurs play an active role, especially in the observation and discovery of the transient phenomena. Astronomy is one of the eldest of the natural sciences. The ancient civilizations in recorded history, such as the Babylonians, Greeks, Indians, Nubians, Chinese, Egyptians, Iranians, Maya, and many ancient native peoples of the Americas performed methodical observations of the night sky. Amateur astronomers have contributed many significant astronomical discoveries, such as finding new comets.
