things about planets, stars and galaxies. and motions.
Astronomy also includes
Today there are many observatories cosmology, which is the study of the from where astronomers can observe evolution of the universe as a whole. celestial bodies using powerful telescopes. Astronomy is the science which deals with the celestial bodies. It is one of the Astronomical observations can help oldest sciences that is still attracting a scientists learn more about the structure lot of attention from many people and evolution of the universe. around the world. Astronomers study Astronomy is also one of the few space, stars and planets to understand sciences in which amateurs still play an how they are formed, how they move active role, especially in the discovery and observation of transient The invention of the telescope was and how they affect our lives. phenomena. Amateur astronomers have instrumental in the field of astronomy, Astronomy was one of the first sciences discovered many comets, asteroids, and which has since grown to be one of the that came into existence. Even though other interesting objects that most important scientific fields. Galileo astronomy was not a subject of study in professional astronomers might Galilei is accredited with designing the ancient times, people used to track stars otherwise overlook. first telescope. He was an Italian and constellations to make their mathematician and astronomer. calendars. In ancient times, astronomy was considered as one among other The space telescope is a great tool for sacred sciences such as geometry, astronomers and scientists. It allows geography and theology. Astronomy them to observe objects in space from has influenced most civilizations in earth that are sometimes too far away different ways. In China, India and to see using a regular telescope. Space Europe, astronomers were considered telescopes have allowed us to discover Astronomy is the study of celestial as priests in ancient times. planets outside of our solar system, objects, such as stars, planets, comets, observe sun spots, and even determine In the 19th century astronomers have nebulae, star clusters and galaxies. As how many stars there are in our galaxy. made great progress with their studies an observational science, astronomy is Because they are in space, they don't about celestial bodies and stars. The concerned with discovering objects and have to deal with atmospheric invention of powerful telescopes made their positions in space, as well as interference. it possible for them to discover new learning about their physical properties Stars are made up of components like Ang mga tanong na 'Ano ang katangian hydrogen and helium, according to ng espasyo at oras?' at 'Ano ang chemistry. They release energy when istraktura ng espasyo-oras ng they interact with other elements to uniberso?' patuloy na nakakaakit ng produce molecules like water or carbon atensyon at may malalim na epekto sa dioxide. They emit light as a result of ating buhay. Ang sagot sa mga tanong We notice a number of complex this energy. na ito ay matatagpuan lamang sa astronomical phenomena when we look astronomiya, dahil imposibleng Stars, like humans, go through a birth at the universe. The movement of stars magsagawa ng mga eksperimento o and death cycle. Before they run out of and planets around the sun, fluctuations pagmasdan ang mga pisikal na proseso fuel, stars can live for billions of years. in the size of sunspots, and the sa ibang bahagi ng uniberso. They collapse inward on themselves explosion of a supernova are all when their fuel runs out. This collapse examples of these phenomena. Many results in a supernova explosion, which more subtle phenomena, such as sends particles shooting through space fluctuations in the brightness of distant at incredible speeds. New stars and stars over time, are also visible. planets are formed as a result of these The first aspect to consider is that no particles. Stars' colors change over time two stars are alike. They differ in age as well: fresh stars are white or blue, and origin, and it is this diversity that while older stars are red or orange. Ang Astronomy ay naging isang makes them fascinating. puwersang nagtutulak para sa pag- unlad ng teknolohiya sa maraming iba't ibang mga lugar, mula sa nabigasyon at agrikultura hanggang sa computing at telekomunikasyon. Ang mga pagtuklas sa astronomiya ay kadalasang nagbibigay inspirasyon sa mga bagong Because the Sun is a star, it has a core lugar ng pananaliksik, tulad ng kay Ang Astronomy ay isa sa mga that is surrounded by a mantle. The Galileo Galilei, na nakatuklas sa apat pinakalumang agham, na palaging mantle emits energy and heat, keeping na pinakamalaking buwan ng Jupiter at pumukaw sa pagkamausisa ng mga tao. the Earth warm enough to support life. sa gayon ay hinikayat ang pagbuo ng mga teleskopyo. Sa turn, ito ay To explore our knowledge in A: The skills needed for astronomers humantong sa maraming siyentipikong astronomy 3 people Volunteer to are being able to analyze data, good at pagtuklas sa bawat larangan ng agham. participate in this propaganda, let’s see math and science, and understanding Maraming mga pagtuklas sa their thoughts. physics. astronomya ang ginawa gamit ang mga Respondent #1 Respondent #2 advanced na teknolohiya na nilikha para sa ganap na magkakaibang mga Q: if you were given a chance to take Q; if you were given a chance to take layunin. Halimbawa, ang X-ray astronomy in college, what are the astronomy in college, what are the astronomy ay pinagana ng mga particle things you want to discover in the things you want to discover in the accelerator na naimbento para sa universe? universe? pananaliksik sa nuclear physics. A: If I were given a chance to take A: It is a small world, and the galaxy is Ang direktang epekto ng astronomiya astronomy in college, I would discover so vast. There are a lot of things that we sa lipunan ay nagmumula sa mga where life exists in the universe. haven't discovered. Astronomy has praktikal na aplikasyon nito: Astronomy has always been one of my been a subject in which I am very much nabigasyon, timekeeping, pamamahala favorite subjects and it would be a interested. If I had the chance to take sa agrikultura at tubig, geodesy at privilege to learn more about the this class, I would have wanted to know cartography, mga sistema ng universe. It would be great if we could more about planets and stars. komunikasyon (kabilang ang Global find out where life exists in the Positioning System), remote sensing ng I want to learn more about other universe because we can't explore all of ibabaw at atmospera ng Mundo, galaxies and how they were made. it. pagsubaybay sa mga pagbabago sa Scientists believe that our universe was klima, atbp. I think it is important to know where made after the big bang approximately life exists in the universe because we 13 billion years ago; however they still want to know what else is out there. don't know how it formed. It would be We are not alone in this world and it fascinating to learn how our universe would be interesting to see what else is was formed and who created it. I also out there apart from us. wonder if there are other planets like earth out there. If there are, then who Q: what do you think are the skills lives on these planets? Do we share the needed for astronomers? same values? Are they similar to humans? Q: what do you think are the skills You must also understand the scientific appreciating what God has created for needed for astronomers? process and how it can be used to us. So, for example, we should explain the universe. appreciate the beauty of nature and stop A: Astronomers use their knowledge of destroying it by cutting down all the physics, chemistry, and mathematics to Each respondents have different dream trees and polluting the earth by conduct research, collect data, and but one intention that is to fill throwing garbage everywhere. develop theories about the nature of the knowledge about their curiosity. universe. We should also respect other humans who have been created in God's image Respondent #3 because they are also part of His Q: if you were given a chance to take creation. astronomy in college, what are the things you want to discover in the universe? The truth is I would want to know where am from. I would want to know my universe and how it came to be. How our solar system came to be, how the earth came to be and also how our galaxy came to be. I believe that human beings are created I would want to know the origin of to be independent of animals and everything I can see with eyes. plants. We have the ability to make our own decisions and we have ability to Q: what do you think are the skills appreciate God's creation. I will tell needed for astronomers? you that many people do not appreciate A: You need strong observational God's creations but instead neglect skills, the ability to observe patterns in them or even destroy them. the night sky and use this information I would say that humans can promote to make predictions about the future. life of independence by respecting and
