	Astronomy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Astronomy is not to be confused with astrology, which assumes that people's destiny and human affairs in general are correlated to the apparent positions of astronomical objects in the sky -- although the two fields share a common origin, they are quite different; astronomers embrace the scientific method, while astrologers do not.
		Although most astronomers incorporate elements of both into their research, because of the different skills involved, most professional astronomers tend to specialize in one or the other.
		In the late 10th century, a huge observatory was built near Tehran, Persia (now Iran), by the astronomer al-Khujandi, who observed a series of meridian transitss of the Sun, which allowed him to calculate the obliquity of the ecliptic.

	Project ASTRO/Astronomical Society of the Pacific
		A key feature of Project ASTRO of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) is the forging of ongoing volunteer partnerships between an amateur or professional astonomer and one or two elementary or middle school teachers.
		For scientists and scientific societies with similar goals, Project ASTRO of the ASP is an example of genuine partnerships between scientists and teachers; of well-developed materials and how to use them; and of the long and painstaking process that is required when pilot projects scale up to go national.
		Project ASTRO is a project of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), the largest general astronomy society in the world.

	ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF THE PACIFIC
		Professor Barnard has been a daring and most successful astronomical discoverer, but never did he shoe such radicalism as when he, one of the keenest sighted and most experienced of observers, spent night after night in photographing the sky with so small an instrument and one that was not even made for the stars.
		It is rather disconcerting that so little progress in the construction of astronomical lenses of larger relative aperture has been made in the last fifty years.
		It is a pity that other astronomers did not get a series of photographs of it, for it evidently would have given opportunity, even better than Morehouse Comet, for measurements of regression of luminous matter in the tail.

		They toss and turn at night wondering why the universe is lumpy, and rack their brains trying to unify the four fundamental forces of nature.
		Astronomers have known for some time that galaxies are concentrated into enormous clusters, but in the past decade, observers have discovered that the clusters are themselves concentrated into vast sheets, or walls.
		If astronomers had simply rejected the Copernican model, rather than worked to fix its shortcomings, we would still think Earth is the center of the universe.
