Knowledge of Astrology has been around since the days of Babylon. The stars was discovered long before this age discovered it. Wisdom of the Ancients.

They didn't. Some ancient people thought they were the camp fires of tribes that lived on the other side of the sky.

They named them stars. Or in their language, prolly something like "mooki mooki," depending on how ancient we're talking.
It took a loooonnnnngggg time for anyone to figure out that a star and a sun were the same thing.

They saw sparkling little dots in the night sky and called them stars. I dont think they knew exactly what they were.

They called them stars, that's just a name for them they made up.,
In fact, they had no frikin clue they were other "suns" with little planets and moons orbiting around them...and that our Sun is a "star" itself.
crap, many idiot people today still aren't very aware of that.

They didn't.
You do understand that they had no concept of what a star was....holes in the fabric of our universe....lights placed by the gods in the sky to predict future events....souls....
They didn't know they were nuclear engines burning away in space.
