They called these objects "planets," meaning wanderers, and named them after Roman deitiesJupiter, king of the gods; Mars, the god of war; Mercury, messenger of the gods; Venus, the goddes of love and beauty, and Saturn, father of Jupiter and god of agriculture. The stargazers also observed comets with sparkling tails,

    and meteors or shooting stars apparently falling from the sky.
