Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the universe as a whole. This field encompasses the observation and analysis of stars, planets, comets, galaxies, and the phenomena that occur outside Earth’s atmosphere. Astronomers utilize various methods and tools, including telescopes and satellite technology, to gather data and gain insights into the formation, evolution, and workings of the universe. Astronomy seeks to understand fundamental questions about the nature of the cosmos, including the origins of celestial bodies, the laws governing their movements, and the potential for life beyond Earth. As one of the oldest sciences, it combines principles from physics and mathematics to explore a vast range of topics, from the life cycles of stars to the structure of spacetime.
