Many people watch the skies, but only some analyze and reason for the wonders above Earth's surface. Many ancient civilizations have myths and legends about what they see above them. The Inuit of Northern Canada are one of them. The inuit recognize a few of the things modern astronomers have, such as the movement of the sun, stars, Earth's moon, planets, and the phases of the moon. They show most of their knowledge in their mythology, which can explain the comparison between modern and ancient knowledge.
