Please explain what archeoastronomy and astrosociobiology is and how it pertains to the universe.?

Archaeoastronomy is the study of astronomy by ancient civilizations.  It examines how they did their astronomical observations and what impact astronomy had on their culture and civilization.  In terms of how archaeoastronomy relates to our understanding of the universe as a whole, the value lies in records of past astronomical events.  Beyond that, it is more of an anthropology or archeology subject.\n\nAstrosociobiology is the study of possible extraterrestrial civilizations.  This line of study attempts to predict what other cultures may be like based on assumptions about the living conditions of where that culture came from.  Astrosociobiology contributes to our understanding of the universe by allowing us to anticipate the possibilities of life on other worlds and ways in which we might interact with them.

Paleoanthropology.  Carbon dating and stuff like that.

In astronomy, heliocentrism is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the Universe and/or the Solar System. The word is derived from the Greek (Helios = "Sun" and kentron = "Center"). Historically, heliocentrism is opposed to geocentrism and currently to modern geocentrism, which places the earth at the center. (The distinction between the Solar System and the Universe was not clear until modern times, but extremely important relative to the controversy over cosmology and religion.

First of all, this category is for astronomy, not astrology.\n\nAstronomy is science, astrology isn't science, basically.

During my Time Travels I did do some Intergalactic Exploration. When I was in Grid 946 Quadrilateral 47, the solar system was similar to your solar system. Basically we ( my Friends and myself) observed than any planetary structure is protected from outside forces due to Gravity and Atmosphere. Moons, as you are accustomed to calling them lack those two important aspects, thus, any outside forces bombard those structures and they similar to the moon as larger structures with gravity and atmosphere are similar to Earth. It simple Physics according to Earth's Concept. Once your Scientist understand Dimensions, then you understand the many things you now consider mystery.

Actually, astrology is no longer considered a science, so scientists as such would not have a lot to say about the mystical significance of planetary conjunctions.\nAstronomy (the scientific study of the universe and space) is quite separate and distinct from astrology.

Cosmology is the study of the large scale structure and evolution of the Universe.\nAstronomy is more the the observational science of looking at the Universe\n\nBoth are aspects of Astrophysics, which is simply the physics of the Universe.

Sorry to be me, but someone has to tell you: you think as a person from the Middle Age, that is, half a millennium ago.\n\nThere was some progress since then.\n\nThere is no heaven and no vault to go beyond, in astronomy. We are on a planet orbiting around a star which is located in a galaxy, which is part of a huge galactic conglomerate, in a multidimensional expanding universe, geometrically described by the General Relativity, for which the very concept of "border" or "vault" would be ill-posed anyway.\n\nSorry, the reference framework for cosmology is Astrophysics, not the Divine Comedy.

The science writer, Dava Sobel, has just published a nice little book that talks about all this stuff for non-science people. Check it out at the library. It's called "The Planets" and it has the latest stuff in it.

Check the following links, they'll answer a lot of your questions, especially those related to Hubble, the big bang and time.\n\nFollow the links in the stories for addl. info.

I agree and this is one of the most difficult issues that I have been struggling with lately.  Our ancestors of 2000 years ago did not have the science nor the technology to explain everyday events.  "Oh my gosh!  That glowing ball is back!  It must be a god!"  So, they named him Helios.  I'm just so confused as to why the Bible is still the end all, be all authority.  We've obviously made leaps and bounds in our understanding of the earth, our solar system, our galaxy and our universe.  Ugh!  I'm just so confused and find it VERY hard to follow with blind faith.

now i dont know much detail, but according to science, there was what is called the Big Bang.  here, this big, huge gas ball started spinning really really fast and formed the milky way, then, smaller gas balls were formed which are the plantes.  then the moons are astroids lurned into the planet's gravitational force.  (just remember-this is not detailed ONE BIT and i might even be wrong on some of this-but the basic idea is correct.)

For a start, try a Yahoo search for:\n\nhistory of space exploration\n\nWikipedia is usually a good place to start for information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_exploration\n\nTom Wolfe's book "The Right Stuff"\nhttp://www.tomwolfe.com/RightStuff.html\n\nIf you want information on the origins of the universe (the history of space), try: "A Briefer History of Time" by Stephen Hawking.

It is a theory that the universe started from a "big bang."  This is considered by scientists as the earliest recorded history of the universe.  It is believed that the entire universe was so dense it was possible that it could have been the size of a planet or smaller.  All that density was too much and it exploded.  Everything back then was hydrogen.  The hydrogen formed into stars.  The stars created other elements because of the neclear reactions breaking up the hydrogen and connecting it together.  This led to planets.  Unfortionatly I would say there is too much info to share everything.  Try reading :\n"A Short History of the Universe"\nI did before I went into seminary.

The study of the *origin* of the universe is called COSMOGONY\n\nCOSMOLOGY studies the universe at large and throughout its existence, and which technically does not inquire directly into the source of its origins.
