Why is it necessary to study heavenly bodies?

Answer 1

Ancient astronomers were limited in their technology, so the question "how did they study outer space?" also connects with the question of "what did they use the information for". Typically, ancient astronomers stared into the night sky and noted patterns and shapes, namely planetary movement, constellations, and the position of stars. The positions of planets and stars have been used in Astrology. People believe and still believe that celestial motion affects our actions just as the moon causes the tides. Constellations and star positions (polaris) have been used in navigation.

Answer 2

Astronomy is the study of things that are outside the Earth. People study astronomy because it is interesting and important (That way we know how old the Sun is and how old it will get before it explodes).

Answer 3

Today, the glare in the sky prevents you from seeing any but the brightest stars. Ancient observers had few distractions, and would watch the sky night after night trying to figure out what (if anything) the patterns in the stars signified.
