  Because apparently some people think things happening in the "heavens" (outer space) are spiritual, so it ends up getting posted in the Spirituality Forum with some voodoo witchcraft bullshit explanation.
  
  Just an observation...cause I kinda like "observatories."

  OK, now I know it's time for bed. Just flipped back here from a TV program (I can alternate between both on this computer screen) and at first glance with my bleary eyes I thought this topic read:
  
  "Anatomy Forum - We need one"
  
  Maybe not a bad idea, either. I can think of endless discussions that could go into that forum. Nite-nite.

  Psychic detective
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychic_detective
  
  A psychic detective is a person who investigates crimes by using purported paranormal psychic abilities. Examples have included postcognition (the paranormal perception of the past), psychometry (information psychically gained from objects), telepathy, dowsing, clairvoyance, and remote viewing. In murder cases, psychic detectives may purport to be in communication with the spirits of the murder victims.
  
  Although there are documented cases where individuals claiming psychic abilities have assisted police in solving crimes, there is considerable skepticism in regard to the general use of psychics under these circumstances

  Astronomy messes with my head; the scales and distances involved, that is. One of the best explanations I have heard as to the scale of space is that, if our solar system were a nickel, our galaxy would be the size of the contiguous USA. Clear so far. Then try to equate that with the fact there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe: brain melts.

  The gastronomy topics are in the foods & recipes department, aisles 7-13: try not to read too much into that.

  You lost me at "were a nickel."

  If the milky way galaxy were single grain of sand, the universe would be all the sand on all the beaches in the world.

  Sigh.
  
  Hundreds of years ago, Isaac Newton developed a theory of gravity that describes both the motions of celestial bodies (in particular, the orbits of the planets about the sun) and the motions of terrestrial objects in the Earth's gravitational field, such as the arc of a tennis ball.
  
  If the forces that govern the planets also influence your personality and your fate, then wouldn't the forces that govern a tennis match or a basketball game have an equal impact on your destiny?

  That's a good question. But I do know that the forces that govern my phallus caused it to defy gravity upon looking at your profile picture.
