Synopsis: This week on “Learn Me Something,” Aaron and Rich delve into astrology, its history, the difference between that and astronomy, and why only one is considered a science.
The Babylonians are generally credited with the birth of astrology. Their astrological charts enabled them to predict the recurrence of seasons and certain celestial events. So in the beginning and for more than 2,000 years, astrology and astronomy were the same science.
