Value of Astronomy Astronomical observations hf'e necessary for the determination of time and of accurate positions on the surface of the earth. Modern physics is closely allied with astronomy because in the stars we may observe atoms under conditions of temperature and pressure that we can never hope to duplicate on earth. Scientists first learned that atomic energy could be released by studying the sun and stars, where such processes are going on all the time. However, the chief value of astronomy is probably a philosophical one that is no less real even though it is intangible, and that is the concept it has given us of the place of man in the universe of which he is part.
