Definition of astronomy in English English dictionary: The study of the physical universe beyond the Earth's atmosphere, including the process of mapping locations and properties of the matter and radiation in the universe; {n} the science or study of the stars; A treatise on, or text-book of, the science; the branch of science dedicated to the study of everything in the universe that lies above the Earth's atmosphere; The scientific study of celestial bodies; (A-stron-OH-MEE) the study of stars and other heavenly bodies; is the science that studies heavenly bodies such as the moon, the sun, stars and planets which are part of our universe; Astrology; The science that studies the natural world beyond the Earth; The study of the celestial bodies; Astronomy satellites are dedicated to the study of stellar objects, ranging from extremely distant galaxies, nebulae, etc our own nearby Sun; Astronomy is the scientific study of the planets, stars, galaxies and the universe Generally speaking, astronomy and physics are essentially the same science, with different areas of research and application Astronomy should not be confused with astrology, although in ancient times the two were tightly intertwined Due to its ancient roots, some historians of science consider astronomy the original science; The science of the observation and material origins of stars and other celestial phenomena Of relatively recent origin, this discipline has become separated from and generally hostile to astrology; The study of the physical universe beyond the Earths atmosphere, including the process of mapping locations and properties of the matter and radiation in the universe. The study of the physical processes which control matter and energy in the universe is commonly called astrophysics. The investigation of the origin, evolution, and fate of the universe itself is called cosmology; The study of celestial bodies and their origins, magnitudes, motions, and compositions; a discipline that uses the scientific method to understand the physical universe (usually beyond the Earth's atmosphere); {i} study of celestial bodies (stars, planets, etc.); The scientific study of space and what naturally occupies it; From the Greek astronomia, from astronomos one who arranges or classifies the stars (astra- + -nomos arranging, regulating, from nemein administrator, dictate the laws of, manage) In the ancient Mediterranean world, there was no sense of differentiation between astronomy and astrology, and, up to and including the Renaissance, the terms were used interchangeably Now, astronomy refers to the study and classification of the physical properties of the astronomical realm - Outerspace; n the scientific study of stars and the universe; The study of objects and matter outside the earth's atmosphere and of their physical and chemical properties; The scientific study of heavenly bodies and their motions; Imagine the Universe - for students age 14 and up, and for anyone interested in astronomy; The scientific study of matter in outer space, especially the positions, dimensions, distribution, motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial bodies and phenomena; the scientific study of celestial objects; Astronomy is the scientific study of the stars, planets, and other natural objects in space. the scientific study of the stars and planets astrology (astronomie, from astronomia, from , from astro- ( ASTRO-) + -nomia ). Science dealing with the origin, evolution, composition, distance, and motion of all bodies and scattered matter in the universe. The most ancient of the sciences, it has existed since the dawn of recorded civilization. Much of the earliest knowledge of celestial bodies is often credited to the Babylonians. The ancient Greeks introduced influential cosmological ideas, including theories about the Earth in relation to the rest of the universe. Ptolemy's model of an Earth-centred universe (2nd century AD) influenced astronomical thought for over 1,300 years. In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus assigned the central position to the Sun (see Copernican system), ushering in the age of modern astronomy. The 17th century saw several momentous developments: Johannes Kepler's discovery of the principles of planetary motion, Galileo's application of the telescope to astronomical observation, and Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of motion and gravitation. In the 19th century, spectroscopy and photography made it possible to study the physical properties of planets, stars, and nebulae, leading to the development of astrophysics. In 1927 Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe, hitherto thought static, was expanding (see expanding universe). In 1937 the first radio telescope was built. The first artificial satellite, Sputnik, was launched in 1957, inaugurating the age of space exploration; spacecraft that could escape Earth's gravitational pull and return data about the solar system were launched beginning in 1959 (see Luna; Pioneer).

gamma-ray astronomy: Study of astronomical objects and phenomena that emit gamma rays. Gamma-ray telescopes are designed to observe high-energy astrophysical systems, including stellar coronas, white dwarf stars, neutron stars, black holes, supernova remnants, clusters of galaxies, and diffuse gamma-ray background radiation found along the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy. Because Earth's atmosphere blocks most gamma rays, observations are generally conducted by high-altitude balloons or spacecraft. In the 1960s defense satellites designed to detect X rays and gamma rays from clandestine nuclear testing serendipitously discovered enigmatic gamma-ray bursts coming from deep space. In the 1970s Earth-orbiting observatories found a number of gamma-ray point sources, including an exceptionally strong one, dubbed Geminga, that was later identified as a pulsar, the nearest yet detected. The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, launched in 1991, mapped thousands of celestial gamma-ray sources; it also showed that the mysterious bursts are distributed across the sky, implying that their sources are at the distant reaches of the universe rather than in the Milky Way
infrared astronomy: Study of astronomical objects by observing the infrared radiation they emit. Its techniques enable examination of many celestial objects that give off energy at wavelengths in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum but that cannot otherwise be seen from Earth because they do not emit much visible light or because that light is blocked by dust clouds, which infrared radiation can penetrate. Infrared astronomy originated in the early 19th century with the work of William Herschel (see Herschel family), who discovered infrared radiation while studying sunlight. The first systematic infrared observations of other stars were made in the 1920s; modern techniques, such as the use of interference filters for ground-based telescopes, were introduced in the early 1960s. Because atmospheric water vapour absorbs many infrared wavelengths, observations are carried out with telescopes sited on high mountaintops and from airborne and space-based observatories. Infrared astronomy allows studies of the dust-obscured core of the Milky Way Galaxy and the hearts of star-forming regions and has led to many discoveries including brown dwarf candidates and disks of matter around certain stars
radar astronomy: The branch of astronomy that studies bodies in the solar system by analyzing the reflections of radio waves sent from Earth
radio and radar astronomy: Study of celestial bodies by measuring the energy they emit or reflect at radio wavelengths. It began in 1931 with Karl Jansky's discovery of radio waves from an extraterrestrial source. After 1945, huge dish antennas, improved receivers and data-processing methods, and radio interferometers let astronomers study fainter sources and obtain greater detail. Radio waves penetrate much of the gas and dust in space, giving a much clearer picture of the centre and structure of the Milky Way Galaxy than optical observation can. This has allowed detailed studies of the interstellar medium in the Galaxy and the discovery of previously unknown cosmic objects (e.g., pulsars, quasars). In radar astronomy, radio signals are sent to near-Earth bodies or phenomena (e.g., meteor trails, the Moon, asteroids, nearby planets) and the reflections detected, providing precise measurement of the objects' distances and surface structure. Because radar waves can penetrate even dense clouds, they have provided astronomers' only maps of the surface of Venus. Radio and radar studies of the Moon revealed its sandlike surface before landings were made. Radio observations have also contributed greatly to knowledge about the Sun. See also radio telescope
radio astronomy: Radio astronomy is a branch of science in which radio telescopes are used to receive and analyse radio waves from space. The branch of astronomy that deals with the origin and nature of emissions from extraterrestrial sources in the radio wave range of electromagnetic radiation rather than in the visible range.radio astronomer n
radio astronomy: the branch of astronomy that detects and studies the radio waves emitted by celestial bodies
radio-astronomy: branch of astronomy that deals with the study of heavenly bodies by means of radio waves
ultraviolet astronomy: The branch of astronomy that deals with the origin and nature of emissions from extraterrestrial sources in the ultraviolet range of electromagnetic radiation rather than in the visible range. Study of astronomical objects and phenomena by observing the ultraviolet radiation (UV radiation) they emit. It has yielded much information about chemical abundances and processes in interstellar matter, the Sun, and other stellar objects, such as hot young stars and white dwarf stars. Ultraviolet astronomy became feasible once rockets could carry instruments above Earth's atmosphere, which absorbs most electromagnetic radiation of UV wavelengths. Since the early 1960s, a number of unmanned space observatories carrying UV telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope, have collected UV data on objects such as comets, quasars, nebulae, and distant star clusters. The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer, launched in 1992, was the first orbiting observatory to map the sky in the shortest UV wavelengths, at the boundary with the X-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum
x-ray astronomy: The branch of astronomy that deals with the origin and nature of emissions from extraterrestrial sources in the x-ray range of electromagnetic radiation rather than in the visible range. Study of astronomical objects and phenomena that emit radiation at X-ray wavelengths. Because Earth's atmosphere absorbs most X rays, X-ray telescopes and detectors are taken to high altitudes or into space by balloons and spacecraft. In 1949 detectors aboard sounding rockets showed that the Sun gives off X rays, but it is a weak source; it took 30 more years to clearly detect X rays from other ordinary stars. Beginning with the Uhuru X-ray satellite (launched 1970), a succession of space observatories carried increasingly sophisticated instruments into Earth orbit. Astronomers discovered that most types of stars emit X rays but usually as a tiny fraction of their energy output. Supernova remnants are more powerful X-ray sources; the strongest sources known in the Milky Way Galaxy are certain binary stars in which one star is probably a black hole. In addition to myriad point sources, astronomers have found a diffuse background of X-ray radiation emanating from all directions; unlike cosmic background radiation, it appears to have many distant individual sources. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory and XMM-Newton X-ray satellite (both launched 1999) have made numerous discoveries relating to the nature and quantity of black holes in the universe, the evolution of stars and galaxies, and the composition and activity of supernova remnants
