Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects

like stars, planets, moons, galaxies, and the universe as


a whole. It explores their origins, movements,
structures, and evolution. One of the oldest sciences,
astronomy helps us understand our place in the
universe. It is divided into branches such as
observational astronomy (collecting data from
telescopes), theoretical astronomy (using physics and
math to explain observations), and cosmology (the
study of the universe's origin and fate). Modern
astronomy uses tools like space telescopes, radio
waves, and computer simulations. Astronomers study
phenomena such as black holes, supernovae, and
exoplanets (planets outside our solar system).
Astronomy not only answers fundamental questions
about the universe but also drives advancements in
technology and inspires curiosity about life beyond
Earth.
