Is it important to study the stars?  Why or why not?  what's your favorite part of the night sky?

 Yes, I do think astronomy is important.  The stars were the way the wise men and the shepherds came to see baby Jesus.  There are many constellations in the stars that tell stories.  There was Orion who was a hunter.  Somewhere, there is a bull.  Most are from Greek mythology.  My favorite part of the night sky is when it's a cloudless night and you could read a book by the light of the moon.

So to answer the quesiton, yes, I do think astronomy is important.
