In a clear night sky, stars make up the majority of the bright spots visible. With the planets among them. Shooting stars, comets, satellites, and other objects we will learn about in the future can be seen engraved on the night sky alongside the planets and stars. Furthermore, space contains a diverse range of gases and dust particles. The universe includes all living things on Earth, including you, me, dogs, and cats, as well as these stars, planets, and gases.
The largest possible space for an astronomer is space. It is the place where we live, the location of the sun and Earth, the home of all stars, and the repository of all that we know. Our minds have a hard time comprehending the vastness of the universe. Furthermore, its precise size is still unknown.
The majority of astronomers believe that the universe's width is at least multiplied by billions of miles. In my opinion, the universe is roughly 15 billion years old.
The universe's current state of knowledge did not come about suddenly. Early astronomers did not anticipate that the universe would be so far from Earth. They just held the view that the sun, planets, and other stars all orbited Earth and that passing by the planet that was the furthest from the planet would take one to a star that was close by. It took thousands of years to realize the true size of the universe.
Using light from the early universe, scientists have produced these images of newborn space. It appears that the cold side is blue and the warm side is red.

First and foremost, we must ascertain what is in the sky.
Though they were not the only ones, the Greeks are credited with being the first to explore the sky. In reality, hundreds of years ago, at the height of Greek astronomy, in 1300 B.C., Chinese astronomers made a very significant discovery.
The Chinese discovered that the sun's position adheres to the same laws and that the stars move in the sky in a recurring fashion each year. They made the first calendars using the information. They used the information they received from the sky to construct something incredibly beneficial for Earth. Can you envision a modern world without calendars? No, in my opinion, since we would not know when to celebrate our birthdays if there were no calendar.
