Who first hypothesized that the stars were suns?
If the first known occurence of the concept is older than any person can be associated with it, where and when is the oldest know occurence of the concept?
I cannot figure out a search which delivers an answer to this question.
It just strikes me that any ancient intelligent human who would come up with a an accurate concept of what the sun is would come up with the concept that the stars were the same.
sunshine in the daytime and starlight in the night? similarity.
I would guess the concept is quite ancient, despite the superstitious beliefs of modern or ancient religions.
