From our small world we
have gazed upon the cosmic ocean for thousands of
years. Ancient astronomers observed points of light
that appeared to move among the stars. They called
these objects planets, meaning wanderers, and named
them after Roman deities - Jupiter, king of the
gods; Mars, the god of war; Mercury, messenger of
the gods; Venus, the god of love and beauty, and
Saturn, father of Jupiter and god of agriculture.
The stargazers also
observed comets with sparkling tails, and meteors
or shooting stars apparently falling from the sky.
Since the invention of the telescope, three more
planets have been discovered in our solar system.
The science of astronomy is ever expanding.
