      1. Main Definitions

1. 
   Brittanica Dictionary: hospital |n| an institution in which sick or injured people are given medical
   or surgical treatment. (From Dictionary. June 6, 2026.) 
2. Britannica: hospital (short definition) |n| a place where sick or injured people are given care or treatment and where children are often born. (From The Britanica Dictionary. June 6, 2026).
3. Britannica Encyclopedia: hospital (long definition) |n| an institution that is built, staffed, and equipped for the diagnosis of disease, for the treatment of the sick and injured, and for their housing during this process. The modern hospital also often serves as a center for research and teaching. To better serve the wide-ranging needs of the community, the modern hospital often has outpatient facilities, as well as emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services. In addition, “bedless hospitals” provide strictly ambulatory (outpatient) care and day surgery. Patients arrive at the facility for short appointments. They may also stay for treatment in surgical or medical units for part of a day or for a full day, after which they are discharged for follow-up by a primary care health provider. Hospitals have long existed in most countries. Less-developed countries, which contain a large proportion of the world’s population, generally do not have enough hospitals, equipment, and trained staff to handle the volume of persons who need care. Thus, people in these countries do not always receive the benefits of modern medicine, public health measures, or hospital care, and they generally have lower life expectancies. (From Britannica Dictionary. May 19, 2026.)

        1. Main Definition

1. 
   Britannica: astrology |n| type of divination that involves the forecasting of earthly and human
   events through the observation and interpretation of the fixed stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets. Adherents believe that an understanding of the influence of the planets and stars on earthly affairs allows them to predict, explain, and affect the fates of individuals, groups, and nations. Often regarded as a science throughout its history, astrology is widely considered today to be a pseudoscience that is diametrically opposed to the findings and theories of modern Western science. Yet around the globe millions of people, to varying degrees, put their faith in such systems as the zodiac in the West, the Chinese zodiac in East Asia, and Hindu astrology in South Asia, which give believers both a sense of fateful dependence and the potential to alter fate. (From Brinnica. May 22, 2025.)
2. Cambridge: astrology |n| the study of the movements and positions of the sun, moon, planets, and stars in the belief that they affect the character and lives of people.

May 13, 2025.)
3. Cambridge A.L.A.: astrology |n| the ancient practice of studying the movements and positions of the sun, moon, planets, and stars in the belief that they influence human behavior. (From the Cambridge Advanced Learner's American Dictionary © Cambridge University Press. May 13, 2025).

10. Wikipedia: astrology |n| is a range of divinatory practices, recognized as pseudoscientific since the 18th century, that propose that information about human affairs and terrestrial events may be discerned by studying the apparent positions of celestial objects. Different cultures have employed forms of astrology since at least the 2nd millennium BCE, these practices having originated in calendrical systems used to predict seasonal shifts and to interpret celestial cycles as signs of divine communications. Most, if not all, cultures have attached importance to what they observed in the sky, and some—such as the Hindus, Chinese, and the Maya—developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations. Western astrology, one of the oldest astrological systems still in use, can trace its roots to 19th–17th century BCE Mesopotamia, from where it spread to Ancient Greece, Rome, the Islamic world, and eventually Central and Western Europe. Contemporary Western astrology is often associated with systems of horoscopes that purport to explain aspects of a person's personality and predict significant events in their lives based on the positions of celestial objects; the majority of professional astrologers rely on such systems. Throughout its history, astrology has had its detractors, competitors and skeptics who opposed it for moral, religious, political, and empirical reasons. Nonetheless, prior to the Enlightenment, astrology was generally considered a scholarly tradition and was common in learned circles, often in close relation with astronomy, meteorology, medicine, and alchemy. It was present in political circles and is mentioned in various works of literature, from Dante Alighieri and Geoffrey Chaucer to William Shakespeare, Lope de Vega, and Pedro Calderón de la Barca. During the Enlightenment, however, astrology lost its status as an area of legitimate scholarly pursuit. Since the end of the 19th century and the wide-scale adoption of the scientific method, researchers have successfully challenged astrology on both theoretical[16][17] and experimental grounds[18][19] and have shown it to have no scientific validity or explanatory power. Astrology thus lost its academic and theoretical standing in the western world, and common belief in it largely declined, until a continuing resurgence starting in the 1960s. (From Wikipedia.

     1. Main Definition

1. 
   Brittanica: astronomy |n| science that encompasses the study of all extraterrestrial objects and
   phenomena. Until the invention of the telescope and the discovery of the laws of motion and gravity in the 17th century, astronomy was primarily concerned with noting and predicting the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets, originally for calendrical and astrological purposes and later for navigational uses and scientific interest. The catalog of objects now studied is much broader and includes, in order of increasing distance, the solar system, the stars that make up the Milky Way Galaxy, and other, more distant galaxies. With the advent of scientific space probes, Earth also has come to be studied as one of the planets, though its more-detailed investigation remains the domain of the Earth sciences. (From Brittanica. June 11, 2026.)
2. Cambridge: astronomy |n| the scientific study of the universe and of objects that exist naturally

10. Wikipedia: astronomy |n| |n| a natural science that studies celestial objects and the phenomena that occur in the cosmos. It uses mathematics, physics, and chemistry to explain their origin and their overall evolution. Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies, meteoroids, asteroids, and comets. Relevant phenomena include supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, quasars, blazars, pulsars, and cosmic microwave background radiation. More generally, astronomy studies everything that originates beyond Earth's atmosphere. Cosmology is the branch of astronomy that studies the universe as a whole. Astronomy is one of the oldest natural sciences. The early civilizations in recorded history made methodical observations of the night sky. These include the Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Indians, Chinese, Maya, and many ancient indigenous peoples of the Americas. In the past, astronomy included disciplines as diverse as astrometry, celestial navigation, observational astronomy, and the making of calendars. Astronomy is one of the few sciences in which amateurs play an active role. This is especially true for the discovery and observation of transient events. Amateur astronomers have helped with many important discoveries, such as finding new comets. (From Wikipedia. May 14, 2026.)
