| More than 5,000 years ago, men were already accurately following the regular movements of stars in the sky. The Greeks named them "planets", or wandering stars. Nowadays, astronomers have become astrophysicists. They analyse the composition, temperature, distance, movement and age of heavenly bodies, and use the information to determine what happened to the universe in the past. |
