Did you know that Vakarin\u0117 and Au\u0161rin\u0117 are the same planet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long, long ago, people noticed two bright \u201cstars\u201d in the sky. One appeared in the evening, when the Sun was setting – it was called Vakarin\u0117 (the Evening Star). Another shone early in the morning, before sunrise – this was Au\u0161rin\u0117 (the Morning Star).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only later did people realize that these were not two different stars, but the same planet – Venus. It orbits the Sun in such a way that sometimes we see it in the evening and sometimes in the morning. Venus is very bright, so it is easy to notice even with the naked eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our ancestors considered Vakarin\u0117 and Au\u0161rin\u0117 special. They created stories and songs about them and believed they protected the sky. Look at the evening or morning sky and try to find it yourself. Perhaps you will see the same light that people were watching hundreds of years ago!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":791,"template":"","class_list":["post-1320","vaiku-kampelyje","type-vaiku-kampelyje","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
