Famous Astronomers-Ptolemy

Claudius Ptolemy was born in AD 90 and died in AD 168. He lived in Alexandria and not many details are known about him.

Ptolemy made many discoveries, but many estimates, which are quite close to what it actually is. He also studied geography and mathematics. He was interested in astrology and soon became an astrologer.

well I'm afraid that's it. Sorry it was short, but I struggled to find details. I might edit this in the short future.
Well tomorrow, we will be talking about Brian Cox.
