How long ago were the ancient Babylonians charting of the planets and stars?
The ancient Babylonians were creating star catalogs and observing the planets as early as the 8th century BCE, so it was over 2,700 years ago. They developed a sophisticated system of astronomy that influenced later civilizations.
Did people in the ancient world built huge templates and discover planets?
You probably mean temples instead of templates. And yes, Babylonians for one built them, often using their roofs for astronomical research. They discovered and documented the location and movements of many planets and stars.

The terrestrial planets are known as the "ancient planets" because they were the first planets to form in our solar system. These planets, consisting of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are thought to have formed from the heavier elements closer to the Sun, while the gas giants formed later. This gives them a more solid, rocky composition compared to the gas giants.
How astronomy born?
Astronomy as a scientific field was born out of early civilizations' observations of celestial bodies and their movements. Ancient astronomers such as the Babylonians and Greeks studied the stars, planets, and the motion of celestial objects, which laid the foundation for modern astronomy. Over time, developments in technology, such as the invention of the telescope, further advanced our understanding of the universe.
