I bet you think the week is long and the weekend is short. And who ever dreamed of changing balls to go to school for just two days and play for another five! But why are our calendars organized into seven-day weeks?
The answer is in heaven. When looking at the Moon, ancient peoples noticed that it changed shape at regular intervals of time: it appeared as full as a ball (full moon), then it diminished until it was by half (quarter waning), it continued to decrease until it became a very thin ring and disappeared (new moon) and then it grew again until it was halved (quarter growing). The separation between each phase (full, waning quarter, nova and crescent) lasts seven days and a few hours and is the result of the Earth's movement around the Sun.
[…] From Earth, we observe seven stars that move in the sky – the Sun, the Moon and the five planets that we can see with the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. […]
