		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.
		Later, with the work of astronomers Kepler and Newton, whose work led to the development of celestial mechanics, the mathematical prediction of the motions of celestial bodies interacting gravitationally became the focus of astronomy.
		East Asia's first astronomical observatory was developed in Silla, one of Three Kingdoms of Korea, under the reign of Queen Seondeok of Silla.

		Nearly all astronomers now have a strong background in physics, and the results of observations are usually put in an astrophysical context, so astronomy and astrophysics are used with a very close meaning.
		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.

		In the late 10th century, a huge observatory was built near Tehran, Iran, by the astronomer al-Khujandi who observed a series of meridian transits of the Sun, which allowed him to calculate the obliquity of the ecliptic, also known as the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the Sun.
		He compiled many astronomical tables and performed a reformation of the calendar which was more accurate than the Julian and came close to the Gregorian.

	Big Bang
		The details of how the process of galaxy formation occurred depends on the type of matter in the universe, and the three competing pictures of how this occurred are based on the properties of three types of matter known as cold dark matter, hot dark matter, and baryonic matter.
		Earlier, in 1918, the Strasbourg astronomer Wirtz had measured a systematic redshift of certain "nebulae", and called this the K-correction, but he wasn't aware of the cosmological implications, nor that the supposed nebulae were actually galaxies outside our own Milky Way.
		This data allowed astronomers to calculate many of the parameters of the Big Bang to new precision and opened up a major unexpected finding that the expansion of the universe appears to be accelerating.

		This list of astronomical resource sites is intended as a resource for users who have a general interest in astronomical topics.
		The French astronomer Charles Messier put together a list of fuzzy objects in the sky which might be mistaken for comets (which he was looking for), but do not move across the sky as a comet would.
		These include resources lists on the solar system, astronomy and astrophysics (including amateur astronomy, date sources, news, periodical, software, celestial events, observatories, and more!), aerospace and astronautics (including launch vehicles, current and future satellites, shuttle schedules, etc), and future exploration (including forthcoming launch systems, the new International Space Station, and the human exploration of space.).

	astronomy
		Astronomy is not to be confused with astrology, a pseudoscience that attempts to predict a person's destiny by tracking the paths of astronomical objects.
		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, Iran, by the astronomer al-Khujandi who observed a series of meridian transits of the Sun, which allowed him to calculate the obliquity of the ecliptic.

	SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - Cosmic microwave background radiation
		The period after the emission of the CMB and the observation of the first stars is semi-humorously referred to by cosmologists as the dark age, and is a period which is under intense study by astronomers.
		The interpretation of the CMB was a very controversial issue in the 1960s with some proponents of the steady state theory arguing that the CMB was the result of scattered starlight from distant galaxies.
		Among the observations that swung the astronomical community toward this point of view were the fact that the CBR was much smoother than would be expected from scattered star light.

	The ASTRO mailing list (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The ASTRO mailing list is for discussing astronomical topics, exchanging news, results, and experiences related to professional and amateur astronomy.
		A particular emphasis of this list is all aspects of astronomical observing, from results of Hubble Space Telescope observations to planning and performing amateur meetings, from discussion of observing techniques to the light polution problem.
		While open for any discussion on any aspect of conventional, or orthodox, astronomy (including related fields), this list is not for discussing religion (including creation), astrology, esoterics, new theories and exotic unorthodox physics, politics, or other threads not related to the science of astronomy.

		Although many readers of this archive might find an article on mathematics and architecture a little surprising, in fact architecture was in ancient times considered a mathematical topic and the disciplines have, up to the present time, retained close connections.
		Alberti wrote a text on the topic, as well being the author of an important text on perspective in which he wrote down Brunelleschi's brilliant discoveries for the first time.
		He was one of a number of mathematicians to develop a general theory of proportion which, of course, was motivated by his architectural studies.

	ASP: Astronomical Pseudo-science: A Skeptic's Resource List
		This is a selected list of resources for those who want to examine with a skeptical eye some of the claims at the fringes of science that seem connected to astronomy.
		Instructors can often use the enormous media and student interest in some of these topics as a way of generating discussion about what constitutes science and about how the scientific method allows us to test controversial hypotheses and determine whether nature really works in the way they claim.
		Perhaps the best known field of astronomical pseudo-science is the ancient idea that the position of the Sun, Moon, and planets at the moment we are born somehow affects our subsequent personality, career, or love-life.
