  Hi @mkershaw
  I don’t fully know the answer to this, but humans have been fascinated by the stars and the sky for hundreds and hundreds of years, even in Ancient Greece there was a man who thought that the earth must go around the sun, rather than the earth being the centre, as was commonly believed.
  
  Sorry I can’t answer this question, but I hope this helps a bit!
