How did ptolemy explain the way planets seemed to move at different speeds and even backwards?
Ptolemy explained the apparent retrograde motion of planets through his geocentric model, where Earth is at the center of the universe. He introduced the concept of epicycles, where planets move in small circles (epicycles) along larger circular orbits (deferents) around the Earth. This model allowed him to account for the varying speeds and occasional backward motion of planets as observed from Earth, creating a complex but comprehensive system that matched the astronomical observations of his time.

Why were some stars worship while others were feared?
From prehistoric times, humans have observed the night sky with the changing rotations of stars, constellations and planets. People recognized different stars appeared at the beginning of spring, and other stars at the beginning of winter. Certain stars seemed to bring up the sun at dawn, while others brought darkness and all the dangers of the night. Consequently, certain stars seemed to have the power to bring good weather and good hunting or harvests. Other stars seemed to be portents of evil. As people told stories explaining the stars and the powers they seemed to have, they also associated the position of planets with great events: floods, fires, war, famine. In this way, some stars came to be identified with certain gods and worshiped, while others were identified with evil and feared.
