* mentioned by Clydia. Set me thinking.
checked out a site on what the bible says of Stars
God made the stars.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, (Psalm 8:3, NIV)
And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." (Gen 1:14-15).
He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name (Psalm 147:4).
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. (Isaiah 40:26).
The stars are divided into constellations. The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. (Isaiah 13:10).
The Bible names some constellations: Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion? Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? Do you know the laws of the heavens? (Job 38:31-32)
The stars have an order or procession. Who is this that appears like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, majestic as the stars in procession? (Song of Solomon 6:10).

A Christian Evidence
Scientists dig in the dirt of civilizations past, and Christians rejoice when the archeological and scientific records confirm the Biblical record. It doesn't matter whether you look through a microscope or a telescope, the facts of science will never disprove the Bible -- nature and the Bible have the same Creator and Author. Instead, the Bible shines as a light on the past (no matter how ancient) as well as the future. Should we be surprised that God's signature is written across the vastness of space as well as the tiniest of atoms? The starry evidence is circling continuously above us night after night. Not only is God's power displayed, but his purpose, too, from before the creation of the world (1 Pet. 1:20).
Astrology is everywhere today -- in the newspapers, magazines -- whole shelves of books are devoted to it in bookstores. It is not a science; it is an invention of men, and idolatrous to those who put their trust in it rather than God (Matt. 22:37). How much better to point to the nighttime sky and say, "That is Orion - this group of stars reminds us that Jesus is the Light of the World . . . "
Psalm 19: 1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God; The skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; Night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, Their words to the ends of the world
