Humanity has always looked up to the stars to pave the way for our future. Whether it's for scientific discovery or for the stars to guess your compatibility with your destined soulmate, the stars have been a tool to all humans.
Stars have encircled human culture and is the base to the structure of human beliefs. Science has developed tremendously due to all the astrologists discoveries whether accidently or on purpose. Now we have NASA working on all types of rocket prototypes to journey to the planets and beyond. The stars have charted our way to a knowledge filled future when the generations to come will have mapped out the entire sky. Man have been pushed into space in hopes of one day reaching the stars. Historically the stars have been a crucial part to all civilizations. In many myths we have named gods and goddesses after different stars and most of our sacred stories originated from the shining lights above.
A great philosopher once asked, “Are we humans because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human. Pointless, really... Do the stars gaze back? Now that is the question.” We have always felt a mutual bond with the shining lights we just have to find out do the stars feel the same way.
Apart from science the stars have been used in a various thing like fortune telling to guessing your predicted personality. Big names like Shakespeare used "star crossed lovers" in his plays. His work is drilled into all students studying English and in general many eras have evolved due to the increasing knowledge on stars.
Truth is no one knows what the truth is behind the stars but that is what attracts humans to the mysteries that lie behind the stars. A magnetic force links us to the stars that cannot be demolished by any natural force. How else are the stars important to us?
