Here's a breakdown of what astronomy covers:
* Celestial objects: Stars, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, galaxies, nebulae, etc.
* Celestial phenomena: Supernovas, eclipses, meteor showers, gravitational waves, etc.
* Their movements: Orbits, rotations, interactions, etc.
While "astronomy" is the most comprehensive term, related fields include:
* Astrophysics: The study of the physical properties and processes of celestial objects.
* Cosmology: The study of the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe.
* Astrobiology: The study of the possibility of life beyond Earth.
