Astronomy |
Astronomy is the study of heavenly bodies in outer space. The stars, planets and satellites are studied and their movements are graphed. Telescopes and other instruments are used for this purpose. On the basis of the study of the movement of the heavenly bodies the almanacs and ephemeris are made. Astrology uses the astronomical data to calculate horoscopes. These horoscopes are then used to predict the future and to analyse other aspects of life. |
