Astronomy in people's lives cannot be separated since centuries ago. The development of civilization and national culture in the world can not be separated from the influence of this one classical science. Shipping life, agriculture, and even many cultural customs that refer to the movement of heavenly bodies. But along with the development of science and technology, the use of celestial bodies as navigation or direction of the season began to be abandoned and people are turning to modern technology.
But unfortunately, in the end astronomy seems to be an exclusive and dreamy science and only intended for a handful of people who wrestle it. Yet in practice, our lives until this moment have never been separated from astronomy. The calendar, the determination of the holiday, the determination of the new year, navigation directions all come from Astronomy.
It seems, in addition to the realization that astronomy is a part of daily life that is still lacking, the correct information and knowledge about astronomy is also very lacking in society. There are many misinformations which then cause panic, such as a hoax that appears every year that Mars will be as big as the Moon, or misconceptions about the motion of the Earth and the Sun.
