 | Astronomy, which etymologically means "law of the stars", (from Greek: αστρονομία = άστρον + νόμος) is a science involving the observation and explanation of events occurring outside Earth and its atmosphere. |
| Astronomy is one of the few sciences where amateurs still play an active role, especially in the discovery and monitoring of transient phenomena. |
| Astronomy is not to be confused with astrology, a pseudoscience which attempts to predict a person's destiny by tracking the paths of astronomical objects. |
