Scientific paper

Paris Observatory, Paris, France I will report on a two-semester experience at the Orléans University (France) of a course of history and epistemology of the concepts of stars and galaxies from Antiquity to early XXth century. The framework is a "module d'ouverture" of the new Licence-Master-Doctorate reform of French University, i.e. a transversal course aiming at providing a scientific culture to a mixed set of students from various fields (law, languages, sport, physics etc.). Due to the number of students and to their wide heterogeneity, the form chosen has been a 22 hours lecture distributed in 10 lessons plus one planetarium session. Special attention was made to regularly refer to and read through original historical texts. The final evaluation was centered on collecting reading notes and commentaries on an original (full) text book. The text was chosen among a list of various references covering the whole period of interest, each student or group presenting his own report.
