| The word Astronomy is derived from a Greek word wich literally means 'law of the stars.' It is the science of the observation and explanation of events occurring beyond the Earth and its atmosphere. Quite literally, all studies of things beyond our planet are part of astronomy, including observations and theories about the solar system, the stars, the galaxies, and the general makeup of outer space. |
