Introduction
Astronomy as an independent science separated only in the modern times from its mother discipline, Astrology,as researchers begun to ask for the laws of nature in the sky without considering their meaning for humans.
Today we regard the astronomy as a very alive and dynamic subsection of physics (astrophysics).
In Greek means
astro = star
nomos = law
logos = word
