It is surprising that people make such gross errors in interpreting astronomical data.
Science textbooks in India hardly go into any details about astronomy. Even then hardly any Indian terminology is introduced. State of affairs about "astronomy" is very bad. Especially regarding the visible astronomy, the kind you can do without any telescopes, as people used to do in the old ages. In comparison, "Astro-physics" is taught at many universities. "Astrology" is of course everywhere.
