What Is Astronomy?
Astronomy is the science and study of the objects in and outside the earth’s atmosphere. These objects include those in the solar system such as the moon, planets, sun and the like.
Astronomers look at stars, galaxies, nebulas, and the radiation from black holes. Some of these objects such as the sun, stars, and moon you can see with the naked eyes but the invention of the telescope brought them much closer.
Today anyone can buy telescopes and see the beauty of the heavens in your own backyard! Backyard astronomy is here and tens of thousands of people buy telescopes and or astronomy binoculars, and enjoy the benefits of owning a telescope.
