Lolan Naicker & Kevin Govender

Astronomy is a field that has captured the minds of human beings for as long as we have been on the planet. Called by various names, the greatest strength that astronomy brings to just about every culture is the innate ability to stimulate curiosity. As a tool for inspiring minds about the wonders of science, there are few fields that are as accessible or familiar. However, the fact that astronomy is part of so many cultures does not necessarily translate into curious minds.

expeditions of science viz. the start. With the improvement of imagination,
the development of science is achieved and at the extremity of imaginative
power came the result that everything of the universe is dwelling on the
sea of imagination.
“An individual respective very location is the present and the rest all
the locations are of the deep of the past” In this way: see the wonders
of science such as everything is Central i.e. own place is middle or center
point, position of our home planet is center in the universe, from your
location; you are a middle point in the universe and from my location; my
brain is centre of the universe.
