6 May 2008 at 2:08pm Politics of Archaeoastronomy, part 1kscottm
3 min - 2008-05-06Pyramidology, an obsession in Great Britain in the 1860s, 1870s and 1880s, helped usher in the hybrid science of archaeoastronomy, though you won't read about this in the Wikipedia article. Judging past practices as pseudoscience using modern sensitivities, the collaborative authors have banished this, nonetheless, formative genesis reported here.

17 min - 2006-06-06Astronomy (Greek: ?????????? = ?????? + ?????, astronomia = astron + nomos, literally, "law of the stars") is the science of celestial objects and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere, such as stars, planets, comets, auroras, galaxies, and the cosmic background radiation. It is concerned with the formation and development of the universe, the evolution and physical and chemical properties of celestial objects and the calculation of their motions. Astronomical observations are not only relevant for astronomy as such, but provide essential information for the verification of fundamental theories in physics, such as general relativity theory. Complementary to observational astronomy, theoretical astrophysics seeks to explain astronomical phenomena.
Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences with a scientific methodology existing at the time of ancient Greece and advanced observation techniques possibly much earlier (see archaeoastronomy). Historically, amateur astronomers have contributed to many important astronomical discoveries, and astronomy is one of the few sciences where amateurs can still play an active role, especially in the discovery and observation of transient phenomena.
