The head astronomer at my local observatory (Fernbank), says he routinely gets calls from people who ask if certain things will happen because the stars are in certain alignments.

I shouldn't be surprised by this, but I am surprised by this.

I am further surprised that he can patiently say to folks that astronomy is not astrology.
