Astrology vs Astronomy, Science vs Pseudoscience
Astronomy is the scientific study of the Universe and everything in it, while Astrology is just guessing about how the positions of the stars affect life on Earth. Ever since Isaac Newton proved that we can scientifically calculate how the stars and planets move in the 1600s, Astrology has been relegated to a pseudoscience since it can not be proven though the scientific method. Astronomy has instead expanded into the primary position of scientific study since it's findings are veritably true. Quite frankly, the fact that we are learning about the pseudoscience of Astrology in Astronomy class is a disgrace to entire field of scientific study
