Astronomy vs Astrology

Astronomy VS Astrology

  • Astronomy:
The astronomy is the science that study celestial objects like: Moon, planets, stars etc...
Astronomy is one of the oldest science. During the 20th century, the field of professional astronomy split into observational and theoretical branches. Observational astronomy is focused on adquiring data from observations of celestial objects, which is then analyzed using basic principles of physics. Theoretical astronomy is oriented towards the development of computer or analytical models to describe astronomical objects and phenomena.
Astronomy is not to be confused with astrology the belief system which claims that human affairs are correlated with the positions of celestial objects. Although the two fields share a common origin they are now entirely distinct.

  • Astrology:
The  Astrology is, put simply, the study of the correlation between the astronomical positions of the planets and events on earth. Astrologers believe that the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets at the time of a person's birth have a direct influence on that person's character. These positions are thought to affect a person's destiny, although many Astrologers feel that free will plays a large role in any individual's life.Astrology can be used as a powerful and fun tool for understanding ourselves, others, and the world around us. We use many different tools, or languages, to define and understand our world. For example, we  can use psychological tools and terminology to explore human behavior. Similarly, Astrology gives us rich tools for understanding human character, and offers us a language for communicating our observations with others.

How is organized the universe?


The universe



The universe is organized in a basic structure. It has some categories were we can find Stars, Comets, asteroids,Planets etc...
After the "Big Bang" the universe is organised in a specific structure wich forms are polyhedras. At the beggining of the history, the man has always focus in the stars and the moon to cultivate or to do wars, but actually with science knowledge we use it to know more about the history of our planet and to develop new things.

Structure:

The universe is formed by:

Milky Way that is part of a big group of 30 galaxies. This is comprised in a group called "Virgo Supercluster" (composed by thousands of galaxies and a trillions of stars)
The Sun, is the principal star that have planets like: Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune and Pluto.
The sun is an average star with planets located in a middle of a large spiral galaxy, the Milky Way. There are a hundred billion stars and perhaps a similar number of planets. On very dark nights see the section of our galaxy. All the stars that we see with the eyes is part of the Milky Way.

There constellations, but many of them are not real and are coming legends of ancient history.
Constellations are stars with forms and names. Most are not real groups, not all stars of the same constellation are the same distance from the earth.

Felix Baumgartner

Felix Baumgartner

Felix Baumgartner was born on 20 april 1969 in Austria. He is an skydiver and a base jumper.
He started to do big things in 1999, he claimed the world record for the highest parachute jump from the build Petronas in Malaysia. In 2003 Felix, became the first person to skydive across the English channel using a species of wings.
Baumgartner is really proffessional doing his job and he is so brave.


  • Preparación para el salto mas importante de su carrera.
En el 2010 se escuchó que Felix Baumgartner estaba preparándose para hacer el salto mas alto de la historia que jamas se a echo antes. En principio Felix iba a saltar desde una altura de 36.000 metros de altura e iba ascender en un globo lleno de helio. Su objetivo sería alcanzar tal velocidad que se rompa la barrera del sonido, es decir, de aproximadamente unos 1000 Km/h.
Esto se pensaba llevar a cabo en 2011 pero tuvo que ser retenido el proyecto por una demanda que puso el creador de esta idea.
En 2012 se reanudó el proyecto. En Marzo se hizo una prueba efectuando un salto desde 21.000 metros de altura en el que se realizó perfectamente, en Junio se volvió a intentar, pero esta vez desde una altura de 30.000 metros y alcanzando una velocidad de unos 500 Km/h. Con esto batió el record de máxima altura.

Baumgartner initially struggled with clautrophobia after spending time in the pressurized suit required for the jump, but overcame it with help from a sport psychologist and other specialists.

  • Achievement.

On 14 October 2012 when Baumgartner landed in eastern New Mexico after jumping from a world record 39,045 metres or just over 39 kilometres. On the basis of provisional data, Baumgartner also set the record for the highest manned balloon flight (at the same height) and fastest speed of free fall at 1,342 kilometres per hour making him the first human to break the sound barrier outside of a vehicle.

Horoscopo

Horóscopo

Aries

Your mind is clear, emotions calm and you can trust yourself to say and do the rights things at work and when you make decisions at home.
Later, Neptune helps partners share secret feelings.
If you’re single, you first see your new love in a photo on a friend’s phone

From: Mystic Meg's

You may feel more reserved than usual, Aries, especially when it comes to romantic relationships. You may be feeling apprehensive about expressing yourself fully, even in the most intimate situations. Be careful about sending messages that suggest that you don't want to be around others. People are apt to think they're to blame for your reluctance. It's fine to be a recluse, but don't completely alienate yourself in the process.

Questions about science

Questions about science

  • Why scientific method is a good way to study nature?
Scientific method is a series of steps used by scientists to answer questions and solve problems. So why is a good way to study nature? Because the nature is a huge issue to talk, and following the steps of the scientific method it led us to know new things that you didn't know.

  • What's necessary to do for solving a problem by a scientific method?
To solve a problem by a scientific method is necessary to follow the steps that I said before. The steps are:
  1. Observe: Is the courisity of the human being to feel the things that ocurr in the nature. To do it we need the eyes, ears, nose...
  2. Hypothesis elaboration: When we observed something, now is the moment to think about it and to take some ideas.
  3. Experimental designs: The experiments are going to help us to know if the hypothesis are true or false.
  4. Analysis and results: In this step, scientists develop an clasify data in tables and graphics.
  5. Conclusions: In this finally step we can explain and predictions about th problem.

¿Qué es la ciencia?

¿Qué es la ciencia?

Actualmente se habla mucho sobre la ciencia en numerosos aspectos de la sociedad, pero ¿Qué es realmente la ciencia?

- La ciencia es un esfuerzo humano por comprender la historia del mundo natural a través de los experimentos que simulan los procesos naturales de forma controlada, es decir, mediante métodos científicos.
Pero ¿Qué es el método científico?
-El método científico sirve para entender la naturaleza de la ciencia y tiene su fundamento en la observación del mundo.

Algunos de los puntos basicos de la ciencia son los siguientes:
- Observación
- Elaboración de Hipótesis
- Diseño de experimentos
- Analisis de los resultados 
- Conclusión. 

Opinion: 

En mi opinión, estoy de acuerdo con las definiciones dichas anteriormente. Existen numerosas hipótesis en el mundo, pero no se sabe si es ciencia o no. Digo esto porque no se sabe si es ciencia si dicha hipótesis se pudiera comprobar mediante el diseño de experimentos y analizando los resultados, dando lugar a la conclusión donde comprobaríamos realmente si es ciencia o no.
