Claudius Ptolemy developed the mathematical astronomy used in Christian and Muslim countries up until the 16Thcentury.
Christopher Columbus and Magellan used Ptolemy's version of the world map during their voyage, but they did not know it was incorrect, thus not ending up where they planned to be.
He found the position of over one thousand stars.
