knowledge is also a key factor in astronomy. According to the American Astronomical Society, astronomers must be well rounded in the field of computers; they must know how to write programming, as well as interpret data that is collected from supercomputers that model cosmic jets and black holes (“Careers in Astronomy”). Astronomers must be up to date on the latest space and mathematical technologies to help prove theories through math and logistics (“Careers in Astronomy,” American). Solving algorithms

To me astronomy is the study of the stars, planets, and other heavenly bodies as well as their movement. Muggle astronomy and wizarding astronomy have more in common than many areas of study, with muggle probes and satellites providing important information concerning the makeup and surface of the planets. However, wizarding astronomy allows for more detailed views of the planets through telescopes and also accounts for the effects of the heavens on magic and its properties. The first planet is

SECTION A Astronomy, as I understood the whole term, is the study of the universe. And for this term, I can say that Astronomy is the study of planets, their moons, composition, atmosphere, rings & other identifying marks, similarities & differences between the planets found inside our Solar System. Muggle Astronomy and Wizarding Astronomy are actually similar with each other, the only difference I can see is that Muggles took the discovery of our universe very seriously that most of their discoveries

Section A: Astronomy means to me about the sky and stars and the planets that has many mystery in it. There are little difference between muggle and wizard astronomy. Wizard astronomy has more story that some wizard believe more then muggle story because of history of magic and the centaurs viewers of the sky. muggle astronomy is a lot of science and technology like rockets and giant telescopes muggle has send many astronauts outer space and on many planets unlike wizards. Section B Mercury: Mercury

beyond—for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives." Socrates believes that astronomy can help other people understand the world better. Astronomy is the study of space, and in order for someone to to be an astronomer, they have to learn a lot of math and science and be good at it. Astronomy is not a big science field either, but there are a lot of different people employing for it. Astronomy helps people understand the world and that they are not the most important part of it, and

official job title? I am a Leo Goldberg Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory. How did you first become involved with this kind of work? I’ve wanted to be a scientist almost as long as I can remember but my first real exposure to astronomy was in my sophomore year of high school when I took a Saturday morning class at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. From then on I knew that I loved astronomy. After high school I went on to university where I majored in physics. A good knowledge

and Saturn using positional and horizon astronomy just like the Greeks and Mesopotamians before them. Although the Mayans observations were made with the naked eye they still had many interpretations associated with the sun and moon. They also independently discovered octa eteris, a mesh between eight solar years with five Venus cycles of 584 days and 99 lunar months. Mayan warfare was also scheduled to get the most astrological benefits. To the Mayan astronomy was a sacred activity. One of the many

A) For me, Astronomy means the study of not just the universe, but the unknown. There is always stuff to be learnt, things to be taught, and surprising subjects that affect our everyday lives, magic and non-magic alike. Even though some things affect us in the same way, our subjects of Astronomy are quite different. Muggle Astronomy focuses on what is beyond our planet Earth. They're interested in what's out there, in the unfamiliar. They want to discover more planets, galaxies, dimensions, and the

is not to be trusted. Astronomy on the other hand, is the actual science used to encompass our big, endless skies. Astronomy is the study of the universe and its subject matter outside of Earth’s atmosphere, while Astrology endeavors to study how the universe and its contents (such as constellations and planetary systems), might directly relate to humans and the events surrounding each person’s life. (Temming) Seeing these definitions, we can come to the conclusion Astronomy should be trusted as it

Michael Wachter Period 5 9/1/15 Astronomy Project Research Paper The History of Astronomy Astronomy (Before 500 BC) has been around since the first humans looked to the stars and wondered what the lights in the sky were. Many early cultures revolved around the stars in the sky, and the Mayan culture was one of the most successful, due to their long standing religions that are based off the sun, moon, and different seasons of the year. Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire,
