### science:

Astronomy
* Most astronomy focuses on observations
  - reflects eclipse
  - relies on principles
  - uses telescopes
* Some astronomy focuses on light
  - motion.
  * is one of the oldest sciences. Ancient people used the positions of the stars to navigate, and to find when was the best time to plant crops. Astronomy is very similar to astrophysics. Since the 20th century there have been two main types of astronomy, 'Observational' and 'Theoretical' astronomy. Observational astronomy uses telescopes and cameras to 'observe' or look at stars, galaxies and other astronomical objects. Theoretical astronomy uses maths and computer models to predict what should happen.

Observational astronomy uses telescopes and cameras to 'observe' or look at stars, galaxies and other astronomical objects. Theoretical astronomy uses maths and computer models to predict what should happen. The two often work together, the theoretical predicts what should happen and the observational shows whether the prediction works
* also exists as a school-based syllabus.
* applies techniques.

  - actually an area of specialization within physics
  - also central to different cultures
* is an ancient science and perhaps, an even more ancient hobby
  - science, but also one of the most modern
  - essential part of the educational system and of an advanced society
  - evolving science

  - hobbies
  - in many ways an interdisciplinary study
  - intrinsically attractive to children and forms a logical setting for learning
  - just one field in which trigonometry plays an important part
  - lights in the sky
  - like no other science
  - merely one of many applied branches of basic physics
  - now the science of studying space using a logic-based scientific platform
  - often an entry point for young people who are becoming interested in science
  - old enough to illustrate how science matures and is self-correcting
* is one area of science where amateurs regularly contribute to the body of knowledge
  - which has fascinated all mankind from the beginnings of history
* is one of the most popular sciences on college campuses
  - universal of sciences
  - visible sciences, and regularly captures the public s attention
* is one of the oldest human endeavors and it is considered to be the oldest science
  - subject which produces geniuses and can be considered mother of all sciences
  - perhaps the most rapidly changing and evolving of all the sciences
  - presented as a hobby as well as a basic science
  - probably the most accessible and photogenic of the sciences
  - said to excite the imagination in ways that no other area in science can
