A star chart drawn 5000 years ago by the Indians in Kashmir, which also depict a supernova for the first time in human history. [7] The Nebra sky disk, a 30 cm wide bronze disk dated to 1600 BC, bears gold symbols generally interpreted as a sun or full moon, a lunar crescent, several stars including the Pleiades cluster and possibly the Milky Way.
