The belief that the sun or moon is being eaten, or other wise permanently removed or changed, and that this is happening because of punishment by the gods. Furthermore, that some kind of intervention (eg prayer, sacrifice, etc) could appease the gods and cause the sun to return. Because it seemed to work (the sun came back) people kept doing it. However from Early History, in China and Greece, people had discovered the cause of ecllipses, and were even able to forecast them.
Superstitions about comets, asteroids, and meteors often stem from historical interpretations of celestial events as omens or signs, rather than scientific evidence. While these astronomical phenomena can influence Earth through impacts or climatic changes, the superstitions themselves lack a scientific basis. Instead, they reflect cultural beliefs and fears that have evolved over time. In contemporary science, comets and asteroids are understood through physics and astronomy, providing explanations that dispel many of the myths surrounding them.

In 1962, the world learned that there was a build up of medium range missiles and missile bases in Cuba. U2 spy planes actually photographed the missiles and the bases.
wow cool dude hope im not alive then Since it's likely our sun will burn itself out in a few billion years then expand burning up planets and other heavenly bodies; chances are the Moon will be like the Earth, melted in the death of the Sun.
Mostly that would be religion and politics.
Superstition, dogma, and unquestioned authority were not the bases for the development of Enlightenment thought. Instead, reason, empirical evidence, and the questioning of traditional beliefs and institutions were key tenets of Enlightenment thinking.
Black cat crossing your path. Throwing salt over your shoulder. Haunted houses. All the above 3 have no scientific precedent.
Mostly that would be religion and politics.
all your bases are belong to us. Do you mean laboratories?

Many beliefs and practices, such as the use of vaccination and hand hygiene, have strong scientific bases due to extensive research demonstrating their effectiveness in preventing disease. For instance, vaccines stimulate the immune system to provide protection against specific pathogens, which is supported by numerous clinical studies. Similarly, handwashing reduces the transmission of infectious agents, as shown in various epidemiological studies. These practices are rooted in evidence-based science, highlighting their importance in public health.

The buildings on the bases have as many windows as they need. There is no standard.
If by superstitious beliefs you mean God and Jesus Christ, then yes I do believe in them. I believe that no matter what science says there is a God and a heaven which is where those worthy will be received when they die. Although science can explain numerous things there are those things that science cant explain.
Superstitious beliefs are based on cultural traditions, personal experiences, or anecdotal evidence, often involving rituals or omens that lack empirical support. In contrast, scientific bases rely on systematic observation, experimentation, and evidence that can be tested and replicated. While superstition may provide psychological comfort or explain the unexplainable, scientific inquiry seeks to understand the natural world through objective analysis and validation. Thus, the key difference lies in the reliance on evidence and the scientific method in forming conclusions.
There are many scientific terms that would fit perfectly into this equation.
