Ancient people used the stars to guide them, just like we use maps today. They watched how stars moved across the sky and noticed patterns, like constellations. Over time, they made stories and pictures of these star patterns to help them remember where things were in the sky.
Examples
- A child draws a picture of the stars they see in the sky and tells their parents about it.
- Fishermen use the position of the North Star to know which way to sail.
- A farmer marks the time of planting by when a certain star appears.
