The Misconceptions of Physics

Astrology, What is it? Astrology is the study of the stars and planets affect are lives.

Carl Sagan (November 9, 1934 – December 20, 1996) “These predictions are not predictions, they tell you what to do, they don’t what’s going to happen, they are consciously designed to be so vague they could apply to anybody an they disagree with each other”

How can it really affect us?

Astronomy and Astrology. What's the difference? Astronomy is a real science, astrology is not. In astronomy we use mathematic to calculate things. Not in astrology.

Astronomy Misconceptions The sun is yellow The north is the brightest star in the sky. Total solar eclipse are rare.
