From the time people first connected the movements of the
heavens with the changing of day into night, there has been a
fascination with the night sky.In early times, sky watchers saw the
heavens in religious terms and were awed by them,The sky was the
home of the gods as they controlled day and night,storms and the
great eclipses of the sun and moon.Astronomer- priests studies the
skies and kept Records of the stars and planets that could be seen
there,In those early days, there was no clear
distinction between astrology- a belief in the
influence of the stars on our everyday lives- and astronomy-
scientific study of them.
