Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the universe as a whole. It helps us understand everything from planets and stars to galaxies and black holes. Astronomers use telescopes to observe distant objects and gather data about their properties, movements, and compositions. For example, the Hubble Space Telescope has captured stunning images of galaxies billions of light-years away, allowing scientists to learn about their formation and evolution.
