Best Answer

Many celestial bodies - the Sun, Moon, five of the planets and most of the brighter stars - are plainly obvious to anyone who looks up, and have been known for thousands of years.

The five planets known since antiquity are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Their names come from Greek and Roman gods from 2200 years ago, although they were known to the Sumerians and Babylonians at least a thousand years before that.

It is only since the invention of the telescope in the 1600s that people have been discovering new things among the stars.
