Astronomy

Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial bodies, such as stars, planets, moons, comets, and galaxies, as well as the phenomena that occur outside the Earth’s atmosphere. It encompasses the observation, analysis, and understanding of the universe and its components, including their origins, evolution, and the physical laws governing them. Astronomy combines aspects of physics, mathematics, and chemistry to explore the nature of the universe, its structure, and its history. It is one of the oldest sciences, with roots tracing back to ancient civilizations that made observations of the night sky. Modern astronomy utilizes advanced technologies, such as telescopes and space missions, to gather data and analyze the cosmos, further expanding our understanding of space and time.
