Human efforts to probe the extent of the cosmos clearly date back to pre-literate times, with significant progress occurring in early literate societies, the Renaissance to 18th century, the 19th and 20th centuries, but with some issues remaining for the millennium. The important issues are the size of the earth, the distance to the moon, the earth-sun distance, the distances to the stars, the size of the Milky Way, and the size of the universe as a whole, plus its age. It is perhaps significant that, with one exception, each question was definitively, answered in a later period than the one that first asked it.
