Almost 2,700 years ago, a Babylonian astronomer wrote on a clay tablet
the observations he had just made from the top of the ziggurat: ‘The
Sun and Moon were in opposition at sunset, Mercury had its last
appearance in Pisces (before disappearing behind the Sun) and Saturn
also had its last appearance in Pisces.’ Glancing at the overcast
skies, the writer added: ‘The day was cloudy, I did not watch.’

So many thousands of years ago and with no instrumentation other than
eyes and mind, and despite cloudy weather, this astronomer produced an
accurate observation of two planets.
