Astronomy

Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial bodies, such as stars, planets, comets, galaxies, and the universe as a whole. This field encompasses various disciplines, including observational and theoretical astronomy, which involve the analysis of light and other forms of radiation emitted by these objects, as well as the physical laws governing their behavior and interactions. Astronomy seeks to understand the nature, origin, evolution, and fate of the universe, employing tools and techniques such as telescopes, satellites, and computational models. It has applications in various areas, including navigation, timekeeping, and understanding Earth’s place in the cosmos.
