Astrotheology \As`tro*the*olo*gy\, n. [Astro- + theology.] Theology founded on observation or knowledge of the celestial bodies. --Derham. [1913 Webster]
Man's interest in the sky is at the heart of three separate stories - astronomy, astrology and the calendar. Astronomy is the scientific study of sun, moon and stars. Astrology is a pseudo-science interpreting the supposed effect of the heavenly bodies on human existence. In early history the two are closely linked. The sky is the home of many of the gods, who influence life on earth.
