Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects such as stars, planets, galaxies, and the universe as a whole. It encompasses observations, theoretical modeling, and experimentation to understand the origins, evolution, and dynamics of cosmic phenomena. Astronomers use telescopes and other instruments to observe and analyze light from distant objects, uncovering fundamental principles of physics and unlocking mysteries about the nature of space, time, and the cosmos. Astronomy also explores questions about the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the origins of the universe, and the ultimate fate of cosmic structures.
