Astronomy

Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the universe as a whole. It encompasses the observation and analysis of phenomena beyond Earth’s atmosphere, including stars, planets, comets, galaxies, and the cosmic background radiation. Astronomy seeks to understand the origins, evolution, and properties of these celestial bodies, as well as the physical laws governing them. The discipline combines elements of physics, mathematics, and chemistry to explore the nature of the universe, its structure, and its vastness. It also includes the study of the fundamental forces and interactions that shape cosmic phenomena.
