Astronomie

Astronomie, or astronomy, is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the universe as a whole. It encompasses the observation and analysis of phenomena that occur outside the Earth’s atmosphere, including stars, planets, comets, and galaxies. Astronomy seeks to understand the origins, evolution, structure, and eventual fate of these celestial bodies and the universe itself. It involves various methods of observation and theoretical modeling to analyze the physical laws governing astronomical phenomena. Astronomers use telescopes and other instruments to gather data, which they then interpret to advance our knowledge of the cosmos. This field is fundamental to understanding the structure of our solar system, the characteristics of exoplanets, the life cycles of stars, and the laws of physics as they apply in extreme environments.
