   I saw the total eclipse of 2024 from the center-line in Missouri with my   
   family; that eclipse was predicted to occur in the 19th-century.  I have   
   no idea whatsoever of where you are getting the idea that   
   "experimentation is impossible" in the science of astronomy.  Any   
   testable prediction, even in astronomy, is an "experiment", which is how   
   they refer to their observation runs.
