ABSTRACT. This article seeks to understand the perspective of academics regarding astronomy and astrology, since these words can sometimes be understood in similar ways, but they bring with them different aspects and opposing characteristics. In addition to discussing the conceptual dichotomies between these terms, emphasizing their scientific and interpretative bases, respectively. The research examines the perspectives of students from a public university located in the northern region of Tocantins on these topics and linked to conceptual paradigms between Science and Pseudoscience. The results indicate that most students recognize Astrology as a pseudoscience, and that religious beliefs do not negatively influence their way of thinking about such topics. The lack of approach to Astronomy in the academic curriculum, especially in science teaching, suggests a deficiency of scientific content based on evidence, linked to the topic. These notes highlight the relevance of science education to foster critical and reflective thinking and to discern between science and pseudoscience, preparing students to evaluate information coherently in different personal and professional contexts.
