How Do Stars Influence Human Cultures Across History?

Stars have helped people for a very long time. When the night sky was dark, people would look up at the stars to tell stories or know where they were going. Some said the stars were gods or spirits watching over them. For example, sailors used the stars like a map to find their way across the ocean, just like how we use roads today. People even made calendars using the stars to know when to plant crops or celebrate special events.
