Which advances in science and technology are you referring to?
Before the invention of telescopes, humans could see 5-6 planets with the naked eye. We did not know they were planets at first. That's... pretty much about the extent of it.
Literally everything else we've ever learned about space or astonomy has been the result of advances in math and/or engineering.

They built observatories to time the seasons and calculate the heavens thousands of years ago.

And I bet they used a little math to do it, too

That’s not true. They knew very much about the regularity of the changing positions of the heavenly bodies. They knew certain good times in the day or month or year to perform various practical tasks like expecting the sunrise soon bc of the bright morning star or telling time with sundial or when to hunt vs gather for moon phases or when to plant and harvest and expect floods or rainy seasons etc. They knew how to navigate.
Plus we knew God created it all because He told us quite some time ago.

copy and pasted a question i’m stuck on from my assignment. i need to find three discoveries about space made before we had advanced technology.

It would probably help to define what the question means by advanced technology. If it's vague, define it for yourself and go from there.
