If there was one thing that has baffled humankind and its imagination the most over several thousands of years, it would undoubtedly be the night sky and the star dust that we all are made of. Starting from the ever changing shape of the dominant moon to the dots that can be joined to form all sorts of shapes (from a crab to a microscope). Don't forget the occasional dropping of the stars!
Isn't it interesting to know that our lives are driven by these objects which are several thousands or millions or trillions of kilometers away? They are also the inspiration for several stories across the world. If we were to prepare a "list of commons" of all civilizations across the world, 2 things would be definitely there on the list - firstly, the human being and second, the study of night sky by the human being (and it wouldn't be an exaggeration).
