Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences in the world. During the the Age of Enlightenment, in the 18th century, a distinction is made between astrology and astronomy. Subsequently, in the late nineteenth century, photography allows a great leap forward. Soon enough astrophotography replaces other mediums of representation. It also allows long-exposure, sometimes several hours, which permits to capture lights invisible to the eye.
