They were there, above their head most nights - they could not help but observe them.
You use a telescope to observe stars, and sometimes also use a star map.
You observe its motion, with respect to the background stars.
You cannot use a microscope to view stars... you use a telescope.And the answer is Galileo, in the early 1600's i believe

An Astronomical Observatory is a place from which to observe stars. Any place far from cities and bright lights will do. You can look with your eyes - "Naked-eye observation" or use binoculars or a telescope.
How do we know? Because we can observe it happening.
Each constellation has billions, trillions, or more, stars, depending how powerful the telescope is that you use to observe. Remember that a constellation is basically a direction in the sky - so the farther you look, the more stars there will be.Each constellation has billions, trillions, or more, stars, depending how powerful the telescope is that you use to observe.
