How many astronomy facts are there for all the objects and phenomenon in the entire universe? Consider that there are somewhere around 1 x 10 ^22 stars in the universe, that's a one followed by 22 zeros. Then consider that many of those stars have planets surrounding them. Then consider all the moons that orbit the planets, the comets and asteroids, the galaxies these stars form, the nebulae and black holes and everything else out there. The number of facts and amount of data is staggering. This article, which presents astronomy facts, certainly won't contain every fact. But these are interesting facts.

Astronomy Henge Stone

Guest Author — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:59:59 +0000

Most everyone has heard of Stonehenge, the stone circle in England that has been portrayed as an astronomers' tool, a grave yard, a druidic sacrificial altar, and even in some movies and television programs as a portal to other dimensions and other worlds. But although famous, Stonehenge isn't unique. There are other such stone circles all over the world, many containing one astronomy henge stone or even an entire grouping of them. The term henge is derived from the Old English word, henge, that became part of the Stonehenge name. Henge doesn't mean circle or stone or earthwork, it means hang. It refers to the Stonehenge site specifically as horizontal stones were hung around the circle by placing them on top of vertical stone pillars. The name eventually came to denote a variety of similar sites, generally populated by some sort of stone formation within an earthen circle. But a henge only refers to stones set within an earthen circle. Without the earthen circle, either raised or dropped to be lower than the surrounding ground, it isn't a henge, but rather a stone circle.

Pisces Constellation Astronomy

Guest Author — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:01:25 +0000

There was a time when astronomy, and in fact all science, was a mixture of strange ideas and even superstition along with any real provable ideas. But stalwart men of science continued to look up into the night sky and consider the universe beyond the world upon which they stood. These were men such as Isaac Newton, who recognized that other stars are suns just like ours, Galileo who first used a telescope to gaze into the heavens, and even people as far back as Ptolemy who formulated the geocentric planetary system around 100 AD. The universe is infinite, which means astronomy is infinite. So a choice has to be made to zero in on a smaller sub-set of astronomy. Let's pick a constellation, Pisces, and discuss Pisces constellation astronomy.
