How are astronomists different from astrologists?

In: Astronomy [Edit categories]

Answer:

Astronomy is the scientific study of the Universe: what is out there in space, how old the Universe is, what will be its future, etc.

Astrology is a set of beliefs about mysterious influences the stars or planets have on us. This is not based on any scientific method, and is really just superstition.

By the way, the people who study each of the discipline would be called "astronomers" and "astrologers"
