The scientific study of all celestial objects, such as planets, stars, and galaxies, as well as everything that occurs outside of the Earth’s atmosphere is called Astronomy. One major question presented by astronomy is ‘How was the universe formed and how has it changed since its formation?’ This question and others are examined through a [...]

Astronomy is the scientific study of all celestial objects– in other words, the study of all planets, stars, and galaxies. Astronomy also includes the study of everything else that occurs outside of the Earth’s atmosphere. Astronomy attempts to answer questions about how the universe was formed and how it has evolved over the years into [...]

The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most famous space telescopes ever conceived, having been in orbit for over nineteen years and counting and capturing some of the most breathtaking views of the galaxy ever taken. Named after the American astronomer, Edwin Hubble, the Hubble telescope is one of the largest and versatile telescopes [...]

The Milky Way Galaxy, also known as the Milky Way or the Galaxy, is a galaxy which contains the Solar System in which Earth exists.

An astronomer is a type of scientist who studies celestial bodies in the universe, such as planets, stars, galaxies and other objects existing throughout space. In a traditional sense, astronomy has always been concerned with the discovery, observation and classification of bodies and masses found through the universe, while another discipline called astrophysics tried to [...]

Constellations are used in modern astronomy to internationally define an area of the celestial sphere, which is an imaginary sphere concentric with Earth and rotating on the same axis as Earth. Traditionally, the term constellations refers to a pattern that is formed when imaginary lines are drawn in between stars close in proximity, forming an [...]
