Ancient people saw the stars every night - and they could see a WHOLE LOT MORE than we can now. It was amazing, awe-inspiring, beautiful and terrifying all at once. They navigated the sky by finding patterns in the stars. They called these patterns constellations. These were not only legends and myths of gods, godesses, kings and queens, but also monsters and heroes that paraded through the night. The constellations were used as a tool to help people survive - by watching the sky every night, ancient people could tell when to harvest and when to plant - when the rains were coming and when it would be dry, when animals would migrate and when they would hibernate. With all of the light pollution of today - the sky today looks very different to the way it did back then.
