as·tron·o·my Pronunciation Key (-strn-m)

The scientific study of matter in outer space, especially the positions, dimensions, distribution, motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial bodies and phenomena.

I think what seperates them is this sentence "in the belief that they have an influence on the course of natural earthly occurrences and human affairs."
