Answer:

Using the stars as storytellers in the past is perhaps the most often used method of entertainment before the advent of movies, TV, and the internet. People recognized a link between the stars in the sky and different periods of the year, such the seasons changing, and thus began using the sky as a calendar. Their worship of the sky resulted in the construction of observatories and temples, which directed ceremonial skygazing.
