Similarly, the terms astronomical science and hypnotic science mostly died out as the twentieth century progressed, perhaps because belief in the occult waned in respectable society. Yes, horoscopes still persist in popular newspapers, but they are there only for the severely scientifically challenged, or for entertainment; the idea that the stars determine our fate has lost all intellectual currency.
同样，天文科学与催眠科学这些术语几乎在二十世纪的进程中消失，因为对神秘学的信仰已经在理性社会中衰落了。是的，占星依然在报纸上流行，但它们仅作为严肃科学挑战的标靶或是娱乐；认为星座决定我们的命运的观念已经失去了所有的智力市场。因此也不再需要“天文科学”这个术语。
