Man, from the earliest dawning of his mind in the remote past, has doubtless struggled to understand his position in the hierarchy of nature. He has strived continuously to learn his relationships to the universe about him, a universe over which he felt he had little or no control, and which he felt, intuitively exerted an inexorable control over him. The most inaccessible and seemingly inevitable of these were the movements of the sun, moon and other celestial bodies. Their dependable presence and movements he could relate to the day and night, the oceans tides, and the seasons.
The Cosmic Clocks, Michel Gauquelin, 1969
