I little variation on the Three-Headed Dragon meme I made some years ago.
The left dragon, labeled ASTROMETRY, looks fierce and serious, representing the precise science of measuring celestial positions and movements.
The middle dragon, labeled ASTRONOMY, shares a similarly intense and focused expression, symbolizing the broader scientific study of celestial objects and phenomena.
The right dragon, labeled ASTROLOGY, has a goofy, exaggerated face with its tongue sticking out, clearly meant to be the comic relief. This dragon’s silly expression pokes fun at astrology’s pseudoscientific reputation compared to the other two.
The image plays on the idea that while all three fields deal with “stars,” only two are grounded in scientific rigor. It’s a clever visual joke that’s popular in science and geek communities for highlighting the difference between empirical research and mystical interpretation.
