How did farmers use constellations?

Farmers historically relied on constellations to guide their agricultural practices, using the stars to determine the timing of planting and harvesting. Specific constellations, visible at certain times of the year, signaled seasonal changes, helping farmers predict weather patterns and the optimal times for sowing and gathering crops. Additionally, the positions of stars and planets were used to navigate and manage their fields effectively. This celestial knowledge was essential for successful farming before the advent of modern technology.
