Astronomy - Page 8
Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the universe as a whole. It involves the observation and analysis of planets, stars, galaxies, comets, and other celestial phenomena. Astronomers use various tools and techniques, including telescopes and mathematical models, to explore the origins, evolution, and physical properties of these celestial bodies and cosmic events. The field encompasses several sub-disciplines, such as astrophysics, cosmology, and planetary science, each focusing on different aspects of the universe. While traditionally associated with the observation of stars and planets, modern astronomy also includes the study of dark matter, dark energy, and the potential for life on other planets.
