Astronomy

Definition of Astronomy as it relates to Science, Environmental Science, Paleontology

Astronomy, as part of Paleontology within Environmental Science and ultimately Science, focuses on celestial objects, phenomena, and processes outside Earth's atmosphere. It encompasses the study of planets, stars, comets, nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies, along with the structures of the large scale universe.
