Abstract: |
Astronomy is a science that is uniquely both graced and cursed. Popular appeal toward astronomy is unmatched by any other science. People have a passion for the cosmos that is absent in physics or chemistry. The curse is two-fold: misunderstandings and the fringe. Examples are given for tackling the misunderstandings by introducing and analyzing the most popular material astronomy has: on the Fringe. |
