Astronomy has roughly a 400 year head start on most of these. Thousands of years if you’re counting astrology (which was mixed together with nonsense).

That’s irrelevant. Astronomy and polsci can both only test their hypotheses through observation.

And Astronomy has had much, much longer to make those observations.
