They stare at the stars their whole endless life!

mostly considered astronomists
Maybe when one shows up and announces himself.Or maybe not. Astronomers aren't really too interested in that stuff.
Astronomy is the scientific study of the Universe: what is out there in space, how old the Universe is, what will be its future, etc. Astrology is a set of beliefs about mysterious influences the stars or planets have on us. This is not based on any scientific method, and is really just superstition. By the way, the people who study each of the discipline would be called "astronomers" and "astrologers"
Well, first, mostly we either laugh or sigh at the gullibility of some people. Don't worry about it. There's no more likelihood that the world will come to an end on 12 (or 21, which I think is the usual date specified in the hoax) December 2012 than any other random day in the next thousand years that you picked out of a hat.
At 5 billion km from the Sun (equal to approximately 33 astronomical units or 33 times farther from the Sun than the Earth) there exists two dwarf planets, within a region of space known as the Kuiper Belt (way out past Neptune).The dwarf planets are known formally as: 1) 136108 Haumea2) 136472 MakemakeThey were discovered in 2004 and 2005 by astronomists and were given names from gods in Hawaiian mythology.
The stars and three of the planets were discovered in about 27,000 BC by Professor Ughhh the Caveman when he happened to be out of his cave at nightfall. They are, after all, pretty obvious to anybody who looks up in the evening or before dawn. The ancient Babylonians and Egyptians were careful observers of the night sky, and by the time of the Greeks, had cataloged most of the brighter stars and the five "visible" planets. The earliest known star atlas was the Almagest of Claudius Ptolemy, a Roman citizen who lived in Alexandria, Egypt. (The Almagest refers to earlier catalogs which have not survived the intervening 2000 years.)
Einstein's general theory of relativity (published in 1916) predicts black holes. Then a few months after Karl Schwarzschild gave a solution for the gravitational field of a point mass and a spherical mass, that a black hole could theoretically exist. Perhaps the first object to be generally recognized as a black hole is the X-ray binary star Cygnus X-1. Its effect on its companion star suggested as early as 1971 that it must be a compact object with a mass too high for it to be a neutron star. How the Black hole theory came from general relativity is that theoretically if a stars gravity is too strong it would implode/collapse into itself causing a black hole. Einstein determined that this is impossible. Black Holes are purely theoretical and for them to exist goes against basic physics. Nobody has ever seen black hole. If a stars gravity was to strong it would explode and not form a black hole according to basic laws and physics.
Muslim scientists discovered the sexual difference between plants such as palms and hemps. These scientists classified plants as to their method of propagation and catalogued medical drugs. The advances made in botany led to greater developments in agriculture and horticulture.
