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 astronomical phenomena. Astronomy seeks to understand the origins, evolution, and ultimate fate of these celestial bodies, as well as the laws governing their motion and interactions. The field encompasses various sub-disciplines, including observational astronomy, which focuses on collecting and analyzing data from telescopes and other instruments, and theoretical astronomy, which involves developing models and simulations to explain observed phenomena. Astronomy also plays a crucial role in broader scientific inquiries, contributing to our understanding of physics, chemistry, and the potential for life beyond Earth.
