If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore.
---Ralph Waldo Emerson


...

You know, Isaac Asimov wrote a story about that. It's called Nightfall. And 'adoration' is not quite the right word for the characters' reaction to the stars.

It's a very interesting story -- so much so that Asimov later expanded it into a book, with the help of Robert Silverberg.
