Astronomy Around Us

Astronomy? I'm sure that your first impression is outer space, black, stars, nebulae, blackholes and also the space shuttle. Those things always become the main impression if the phrase 'Astronomy' come. It is actually only half of the field or even only a quarter from the field. I really want to change those perception and i want to emphasize to everyone that ASTRONOMY IS AROUND US. Let us see why i said so. Each day in a week has a relationship with astronomy. Believe it? No? Okay. Where does the "SUNDAY" got its name? From the words 'sun'... How about MONDAY?? It is actually from the words 'moon'.. SATURDAY?? It is from the word 'SATURN'... Interesting right?? That is why i said ASTRONOMY IS REALLY AROUND US!!! One more thing, let us look at ourself. Our body is made up of many elements such as hydrogen, oxygen and many more. This element is actually come from the stars. So, if you said that you did not have telescope, that is why you cannot involve in astronomy, i will said that YOU ARE WRONG!!! Astronomy is very wide field, whoever you are and wherever you are, you can study and involve in Astronomy starting today! =)
