Astronomy : (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, auroras, 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.
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 (see archaeoastronomy). Historically,
amateurs have contributed to many important astronomical discoveries,
and astronomy is one of the few sciences where amateurs can still play
an active role, especially in the discovery and observation of transient
phenomena.
Modern astronomy as practiced is not to be confused with astrology, the
belief system that states that people's destiny and human affairs in
general are correlated to the positions of celestial objects in the
skies. Although the two fields share a common origin, they are quite
different; astronomers employ the scientific method, while astrologers
do not.
