Historical And Classical Astronomers

This group collects the Astronomy subcategory's members whose own recorded description names no specific modern subfield and whose first mentioned year, most often a birth year, is before 1900: astronomers from the classical and early modern era whose work predates the subfield specializations this subcategory's other groups match on. It is kept apart from Other Astronomers purely by era, the same era-split convention this lane's other files (Chemistry, Mathematics) already use for a subcategory's own oversized general-member bucket.
