For other uses, see Astronomy (disambiguation) A giant Hubble mosaic of the Crab Nebula , a supernova remnant Astronomy is a natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects (such as stars planets comets nebulae ... star clusters and galaxies ) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere (such as the cosmic background radiation ). It is concerned with the evolution, physics chemistry meteorology , and motion of celestial objects, as well as the formation and development of the universe Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Prehistoric cultures left behind astronomical artifacts such as the Egyptian monuments and Stonehenge , and early civilizations such as the Babylonians Greeks Chinese Indians , and Maya performed methodical observations of the night sky. However, the invention of the telescope was required before astronomy was able to develop into a modern science. Historically, astronomy has included disciplines as diverse as astrometry celestial navigation , observational astronomy, the making of calendars , and even astrology , but professional astronomy is nowadays often considered to be synonymous with astrophysics During the 20th century, the field of professional astronomy split into

To others, it is known as the Piton de la Fournaise , which is French for the Peak of the Furnace. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. The Volcano started a new eruption last month by spewing hot lava bombs as high as 10 meters into the air from several vents. Pictured above , the recent eruption was caught before a star filled southern sky, appearing somehow contained beneath the arching band of our Milky Way Galaxy . Also visible in the background sky is the Pleiades open star cluster , the constellation of Orion , the brightest star Sirius , and the neighboring Large and Small Magellanic Cloud galaxies . (Can you find them ?) The Piton de la Fournaise erupted for months in 2006, and for days in 2007, 2008, and in January of 2010 . Nobody knows how long the current eruption will last, or when The Volcano will erupt next.

Astronomy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Astronomy is the study of outer space and everything in it. This includes stars planets and galaxies as well as other things. The word astronomy comes from the Greek words astron which means star and nomos which means law A person who studies astronomy is called an astronomer Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences . Ancient people used the positions of the stars to navigate , and to find when was the best time to plant crops . Astronomy is very similar to astrophysics . Since the 20th century there have been two main types of astronomy, Observational and Theoretical astronomy. Observational astronomy uses telescopes and cameras to observe or look at stars, galaxies and other astronomical objects. Theoretical astronomy uses maths and computer models to predict what should happen. The two often work together, the theoretical predicts what should happen and the observational shows whether the prediction works. Astronomy is not the same as astrology , the belief that the patterns the stars and the planets make affect human lives.

Astronomy From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Astronomical unit) Next (Astrophysics) Lunar astronomy: the large crater is Daedalus, photographed by the crew of Apollo 11 as they circled the Moon in 1969. Located near the center of the far side of Earth's Moon, its diameter is about 58 miles (93 km). Astronomy (Greek: αστρονομία = άστρον + νόμος, astronomia astron nomos , literally, "law of the stars ) is the science of celestial phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere . It gives us the context for our existence in an evolving universe of untold numbers of galaxies and complex structures at all scales. It studies the origins, evolution, and physical and chemical properties of celestial objects. In short, astronomy is about finding out what is going on beyond Earth Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences, with a scientific methodology existing at the time of Ancient Greece and advanced observation techniques possibly much earlier as seen in the study of archaeoastronomy. In ancient cultures astronomical observations were often connected to religious thought, a remnant of which we find in astrology today.
