Mythology often connects with astronomical phenomena by attributing celestial events to divine actions or beings. Cultures have created myths explaining the movements of stars, planets, and natural occurrences like eclipses or comets. For example, ancient cultures would link the seasonal cycles to the tales of gods and heroes, using the heavens to symbolize human experiences. These connections serve to enrich the narratives, making the cosmos a backdrop for divine stories and illustrating the relationship between humanity and the universe. Myths help to contextualize human existence within a larger cosmic order.
