Astronomy

Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects, such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies, as well as the broader universe as a whole. It involves the observation and analysis of these entities to understand their properties, behavior, and interactions. Astronomy encompasses various sub-disciplines, including observational astronomy, which focuses on collecting data from telescopes and other instruments, and theoretical astronomy, which uses mathematical models and simulations to explain astronomical phenomena. The field combines aspects of physics and mathematics to explore fundamental questions about the nature of the universe, its origins, and its evolution over time. It plays a crucial role in expanding our understanding of fundamental concepts such as gravity, light, time, and the potential for extraterrestrial life.
