yeah but how? How did they know that what they saw in the sky was a planet and not a moon or another star from another galaxy? I'm hooked, i'm going to get a loft conversion and star gaze.
Well they didn't really.
We know of them now because of our technology but back then they called Mercury, Mars and Venus planets(derived from some word, cant remember what) but that was just because they saw them as objects in the sky that moved across the sky.
