2023-01-25 20:16:50 What is astrology and is it a science?

Astrology can be defined as the study of the connection between celestial activity phenomena and earthly events.

In some context astrology is also described as the primitive study of celestial bodies, which formed the basis of astronomy and began with the ancient civilizations.

Those who practice astrology are called astrologers.

Astrology maintains that each person is born under a particular sign of the zodiac.

Some divide astrology in branches:

Mundane A. (predictions about national and international affairs)

Interrogatory A. (predictions about subject’s life)

Natal A. (predictions based on the date of a person’s birth)

Even though astrologers use mathematics and astronomy to make their calculations, there is no evidence that astrological predictions are accurate and thus astrology is a pseudoscience.

A pseudoscience is a field that pretends to use scientific methodology, but does not follow the scientific method.

2023-01-22 19:16:21 What is the zodiac?

The zodiac is the line on the celestial sphere (the full pattern of stars as seen in the night sky) along which the sun seems to move during a full year. The position of the sun on any day can be discovered by observing which stars are just above the horizon at the point where the sun is about to rise or has recently set. They will be the same group of stars at the beginning or end of the same day, even though appearing in the east at dawn and in the west at dusk - for the sun's position in relation to the stars, as seen from earth, hardly changes within a day.

The concept of the zodiac was introduced by the Babylonians who realized that the zodiac can serve as a yardstick of celestial time if divided into recognizable and equal segments. They selected twelve constellations to represent these segments and gave them the names of animals.

The Greeks later provided the term for the zodiac when they describe it as the 'animal circle' (zodiakos kyklos).

In succession these constellations are
Aries (the Ram)
Taurus (Bull)
Gemini (Twins)
Cancer (Crab)
Leo (Lion)
Virgo (Virgin)
Libra (Scales)
Scorpio (Scorpion)
Sagittarius (Archer)
Capricornus (Goat)
Aquarius (Water Carrier)
Pisces (Fishes)

2023-01-18 19:24:42 What is astronomy?

Astronomy is the study of the universe, the celestial objects that make up the universe, and the processes that govern the lifecycle of those objects.

Astronomy is largely an observational science. Astronomers use the electromagnetic radiation emitted from stars and other celestial objects, which can include visible light, UV, infrared, and X-rays. Because the light from these objects is the primary means to study them, one of the most important tools for an astronomer is the telescope.

Given the size of the universe (which could be infinite), astronomy is an enormous field.

The celestial objects that astronomers study include stars, galaxies, nebulae, and supernova.

Because of the enormous distances between Earth and other objects, when astronomers look farther away, they are also looking back in time. This is because of the amount of time it takes the light we see to travel from the source to us here on Earth.
