Astronomy
Astronomy (from Greek : ἀστρονομία ) is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena . It applies mathematics , physics , and chemistry , in an effort to explain the origin of those objects and phenomena and their evolution . Objects of interest include planets , moons , stars , galaxies , and comets ; the phenomena include supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts , and cosmic microwave background radiation . More generally, all phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are within the purview of astronomy. A related but distinct subject, physical cosmology , is concerned with the study of the Universe as a whole. [1]

Astronomy ( Greek : αστρονομία = άστρον + νόμος , astronomia = astron + nomos , literally, " law of the stars " ) is the science of celestial objects and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere , such as stars , planets , comets , galaxies , and the cosmic background radiation . It is concerned with the formation and development of the universe , the evolution and physical and chemical properties of celestial objects and the calculation of their motions . Astronomical observations are not only relevant for astronomy as such, but provide essential information for the verification of fundamental theories in physics , such as general relativity theory . Complementary to observational astronomy, theoretical astrophysics seeks to explain astronomical phenomena. |
