Two-third of Brits claim they are fascinated by astronomy
According to research – but just 12% believe their knowledge of the subject is "good". Some of the biggest knowledge gaps when it comes to the science of space include
49% not knowing what a lunar eclipse is
While one in three are clueless about black holes.
Students and astronomy club members view Asheville's Oct. 14 eclipse. What did they see? A SHEVILLE – Exclamations of “We got it!” “That’s so cool!” “Come look!” rose from a crowd at parking lot No. 8 on the University of North Carolina Asheville’s campus on Saturday
Carried out via OnePoll
The research also found 46 per cent would like to go up to space and see it for themselves. But just 12 per cent describe their knowledge of astronomy as ‘good’ - even though 45 per cent remember learning about it at school.
“The strongest sensation I’ve had here is that it slows me down
” geologist and astronomy club member Todd Creamer told the Citizen Times
Referring to celestial events like this one. Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning. “The sun is ever-changing
But on our scale
It's also timeless.
Two-thirds claim to be interested in space science - but six in ten don't realise there are eight planets in the solar system, the research found Two-third of Brits claim they are fascinated by astronomy, according to research – but just 12% believe their knowledge of the subject is "good".

A galaxy of exhibits - from strands of Neil Armstrong’s hair to rocks from the moon and Mars – await enthusiasts at this new “one-of-its-kind” museum of astronomy and space science.
Phenomenon wherein objects appear to move about their true positions in the sky
?arcseconds in right ascension or declination.
background commonly refers to the incoming light from an apparently empty part of the night sky.
Using stars to measure Earth
Geodetic astronomy or astronomical geodesy (astro-geodesy) is the application of astronomical methods into geodetic networks and other technical projects of geodesy.
Luminous trail of a tiny meteor
A glowworm is a luminous trail of a tiny meteor
Occasionally visible in the night sky during a meteor shower.
Star with a spectrum that peaks in the green or appears green
A green star is a white or blueish star that appears greenish in some viewing conditions.Under typical viewing conditions
There are no greenish stars
Because the color of a star is more or less given by a black-body spectrum.However
A few stars appear greenish to some observers in certain viewing conditions—for example
The optical illusion that a red object can make nearby objects look greenish.Some multiple star systems
Have a bright reddish or yellowish star where this contrast makes other stars in the system seem greenish.

Academic journal
Nature Astronomy is a peer reviewed scientific journal published by Nature Portfolio.It was first published in January 2017
Although the first content appeared online in December 2016.The editor-in-chief is May Chiao
Who is a full-time professional editor employed by the journal.The founding editors of this journal
Luca Maltagliati and Marios Karouzos.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to astronomy:
Part of the sky associated with water-based mythology
The Sea or the Water is an area of the sky in which many water-related
And few land-relatedConstellations occur.This may be because the Sun passed through this part of the sky during the rainy season.
Organisation based in the United Kingdom
The Society for the History of Astronomy is an organisation based in the United Kingdom that promotes research into the history of astronomy.It publishes a research journal called The Antiquarian Astronomer and a regular Bulletin.
Astronomy with terahertz (< 1 mm)-range light
Submillimetre astronomy or submillimeter astronomy is the branch of observational astronomy that is conducted at submillimetre wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.Astronomers place the submillimetre waveband between the far-infrared and microwave wavebands
Typically taken to be between a few hundred micrometres and a millimetre.It is still common in submillimetre astronomy to quote wavelengths in 'microns'
The old name for micrometre.
Visible-light astronomy encompasses a wide variety of astronomical observation via telescopes that are sensitive in the range of visible light.Visible-light astronomy is part of optical astronomy
And differs from astronomies based on invisible types of light in the electromagnetic radiation spectrum
X-ray waves and gamma-ray waves.Visible light ranges from 380 to 750 nanometers in wavelength.
