Editorial Review :
Observe the vastness of space in a dramatic light show! The "sun" is lighted with an ultra-bright 1000-hour light bulb inside a yellow orb to shine onto the planets as they orbit around it. The central tower and the planetary support rods are black so that they "disappear" in a darkened room for a spectacular effect. Base features planetary longitude marks so the planets can be set up to their correct positions. Plus, the unique stardome (included) converts the unit into a planetarium. Powered by four "C" batteries (not included) or A/C adapter (not included).

Question : Is astrology a science like astronomy, and since when can you determine behavior by looking at a planet?
Just clarifying a few things here. There are some people that continue to use this argument, that Astrology IS a science just like Astronomy.I have absolutely no idea to how a constellation or planets determine personality in human beings and their behavior. There doesn't seem to be any evidence to support this either.What is "scientific" about horoscopes?
Answer:
Haha....astrology...Astrology is not a science. It was thought of as a science prior to telescopes (and still today)"I have absolutely no idea to how a constellation or planets determine personality in human beings and their behavior."Good, because they dont."There doesn't seem to be any evidence to support this either"There isn't.The only way the cosmos influence me is what am i going to point my telescope at tonight.There is no science behind horoscopes.

Question : How can I study astronomy or space science in college?
I am curious about career options in space exploration, planetary science, and astronomy. I want to do something with space, anything to do with understanding the unknown. I know I have to go to university for astronomy, but I don't want to spend 5+ years if my life in uni. Are there ANY college options for me?Note: I live in Ontario Canada
Answer:
There really aren't any jobs in astronomy if you don't have a PhD in the field. With a bachelors in it, you might get a research support position if you're lucky - reducing someone's data or writing code, but not heading your own projects, and there are few of those jobs. Even with a PhD, it can be hard to find a job - there are more astronomers than there are jobs for them. A PhD is 8-12 years of college, and usually another 2-6 more of postdoc work before you can start applying for those very competitive 'real' jobs.
