WHAT IS ASTRONOMY?According to the American Heritage Dictionary, "Astronomy is the scientific study of the universe beyond the earth, esp. the observation, calculation, and theoretical interpretation of the positions, dimensions, distribution, motion, composition, and evolution of celestial bodies and phenomena."

Celestial bodies and phenomena included in the study of astronomy are:

The Universe

The Solar System

The Sun

The Planets & Satellites

(Interplanetary Space)

Comets

Asteroids

Meteors

Constellations

The Stars

(Interstellar Space)

Galaxies

The Space Age (Itself)

Spacecraft

Instruments used in astronomy

Reflecting & Refracting Telescopes, etc.

Computers

The "astron" of astronomy is derived from the Greek, meaning star.

There are a number of words which are derived from "astron" and/or which complement or supplement astronomy. These include:

Astrochemistry–"The chemistry of stars and interstellar space."

Astrodynamics–"The dynamics of celestial bodies."

Astrogate–"To navigate a space craft."

Astrogeology–"The geology of celestial bodies."

Astrolabe–"A medieval instrument used to determine the altitude of the sun and other celestial bodies."

Astrometry–"The scientific measurement of the positions and motions of celestial bodies."

Astronaut–"A person trained to pilot, navigate, or otherwise participate in the flight of a spacecraft."

Astronautics–"The science and technology of space flight."

Astronavigation–"Navigation of spacecraft." "Celestial navigation."

Astronomer–"A scientist specializing in astronomy."

Astrophotographer–"Astronomical photographer."

Astrophysics–"The physics of stellar phenomena."

There is also "Astrionics" which is "Electronics used in astronautics."

A Career in Astronomy

Often those seeking a career in astronomy or "space science" think "astronomer" or "astronaut" but the above word list shows that there are numerous areas of interest for those seeking a career in the "scientific study of the universe." Also, astronomy might be called a "combination science" in that it can be combined with other sciences and even arts–Photography, physics, geology, chemistry, etc. There is also "Radio Astronomy." As for the arts, there are artists who specialize in "celestial" art and printmaking, astronomy posters. Sculptors are also intrigued by the stars and planets and so are poets and other writers.

Computer Science:

Computers have made their contribution to the science of astronomy with astronomy software, helping in the areas of observation, calculation (the mathematics of astronomy) and astronomy theory as well as general information and education, and in the invention of computerized telescopes.
