 | | Although the two fields share a common origin, they are quite different; astronomers embrace the scientific method, while astrologers do not. |
 | | In astronomy, information is mainly received from the detection and analysis of electromagnetic radiation, photons, but information is also carried by cosmic rays, neutrinos, meteors, and, in the near future, gravitational waves (see LIGO and LISA). |
 | | Cosmology made huge advances during the 20th century, with the model of the big bang heavily supported by the evidence provided by astronomy and physics, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation, Hubble's Law and cosmological abundances of elements. |
