Who discovered the first constellation?
You can't really talk about it as a discovery. People looked at the stars since times immemorial and named them. Why? Stars were pretty important for the navigation and it's surely easier to remember something if you can associate it with some object you are familiar with (cross for example).
How can we talk about the evolution of stars over billions of years when human beings have been observing stars for only a few thousand years?
This is possible because stars have been and being constantly produced singe it was first possible for them to form in the Universe. The current population of stars visible to us therefore contains stars at all stage/ages of existence By observation we can therefor study stars at all stages of their life, even though we ourselves have only been in existence for a shot time.
Some stars might no longer be in existence but you still see them in the night sky why-?

What is the reason to believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life?
There are several reasons to believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life. One reason is the vastness of the universe, with billions of galaxies and planets that could potentially support life. Additionally, the discovery of extremophiles on Earth, organisms that can survive in extreme conditions, suggests that life could exist in harsh environments elsewhere in the universe. Finally, ongoing scientific research, such as the discovery of exoplanets in the habitable zone of their stars, provides further evidence that extraterrestrial life may exist.
When was tha stars discovered?
Stars have been observed by humans for thousands of years, with ancient civilizations like the Babylonians and Greeks documenting their existence as early as 3000 BCE. However, the scientific understanding of stars began to develop in the 17th century with the advent of telescopes. Galileo Galilei's observations in the early 1600s marked a significant advancement in the study of stars. The discovery of their composition and processes came much later, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries with advancements in spectroscopy and astrophysics.
Do stars have gravitational pull if so how strong is the force of it?
No. The stars are much too far away for the Earth's existence to have any measurable effect on them.
Why did Russell A. Hulse win The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1993?
