The purpose of in this study is to examine the cultural values and beliefs that the folks produced in our geography as a result of their sky observations depending on the movements of celestial bodies by handling with the equivalent in astronomy. In the study, thoughts and ideas interested with some synthesis and analysis were evaluated by using the analysis method, which is one of the analytical research methods. The calendars created depending on the movements of the celestial bodies have been given in chronological order and the conversion between the calendars has been explained with calculations. In addition, it has been discussed whether some special days and meteorological events that have a place in the culture of the people have an equivalent in astronomy. It has been explained that astrology is not a science and consists of the meaning that people attribute to the stars and their movements as a result of sky observations. Lunar and Solar eclipses have occurred as a result of the natural movements of celestial bodies, so the meanings and inferences attributed to eclipses do not have a scientific dimension. It has been concluded that the idea that the cause of the eclipses, which are called Blood Lunar Eclipses and Blue Lunar Eclipses, is a natural phenomenon caused by the refraction of light, and that it affects people's lives and futures is completely unrealistic. As a result, observing the celestial bodies in the sky, examining their systematic movements and evaluating them in terms of the laws of physics can only give an idea about their future movements and situations. Apart from this, giving meaning to celestial bodies will not go beyond a cultural dimension.
