in objects, and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth, including supernovae with theoretical astronomy seeking

to explain the observational results and observations being used to confirm theoretical results.Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Prehistoric cultures left behind astronomical explosions, gamma ray burststo Babylonians, Greeks, Chinese, Indians, Iranians and Maya performed methodical observations of theomy, and, stars, observational and theoretical branches. Observational astronomy is focused on acquiring data from observations the making of calendars, but professional [2] astronomy is nowadays often considered to be synonymous with astrophysics. Astronomy is a natural science that is the study of celestial objects (such as moons, planetsnight sky. However, the invention of the telescope was required before astronomy was able to develop into a modern science. Historically, astronomy has included disciplines as diverse as astrometry, celestial navigation, observational astron During the 20th century, the field of professional astronomy split of astronomical objects, which is then analyzed using basic principles of physics. Theoretical astronomy is oriented toward the development of computer or analytical models to describe astronomical objects and phenomena. The two fields complement each other, artifacts such as the Egyptian monuments and Nubian monuments, and early civilizations such as the nebulae, and galaxies), the physics, chemistry,mathematics, and evolution of such, and cosmic background radiation. A related but distinct subject, cosmology, is concerned with [1] studying the universe as a whole.
