Abstract

Anaximander successfully speculated about the origin of the cosmos: an initial explosion which condensated fragments form the stars. He also worked as an empirical astronomer who observed with a helioscope the Sun’s gaseous surface and its protuberances. He observed Solar and Lunar expectrums of light, probably working with certain set of pinhole cameras that he could optimize with fitted mirrors.Anaximandro especuló acertadamente sobre el origen del cosmos: describe una explosión inicial cuyos fragmentos se condensaron formando los astros; además, observó la atmósfera gaseosa del Sol y las protuberancias solares, para lo cual, debió servirse de proyecciones de la luz del Sol y la Luna mediante una cámara oscura que pudo perfeccionar mediante acoplamiento de espejos.
