The scientific study of the universe around us, everything outside of the Earth's atmosphere.
study of celestial bodies, what they are made of and their magnitudes and motions.
The legitimate science of studying the heavenly bodies.
Science that deals with the Universe, its radiation and their descriptions, radiations, movements, structures, physical and chemical characteristics, origin, evolution, and arrangement.
The study of the Universe, and its contents.
The science that studies the natural world beyond the Solar System.
The study of everything that is not on or of the earth. (Could include bits of rock that fall from the sky.) A very hopeful pseudo-science since the vast majority of the subject matter is so far away that no one now living will probably ever directly see it. These people make assumptions about stuff far away based on observations made in our close astronomical neighborhood. The nearest celestial body outside our local solar system sent it's LIGHT our way four years ago. Therefore ALL astronomical observations are historical in nature.
the branch of physics that studies celestial bodies and the universe as a whole
The scientific study of the universe and the things in it.
branch of science dealing with stars, solar systems, galaxies, or any celestial body in the universe
the science that studies stars, planets, and the rest of the universe.

the scientific study of celestial objects
The scientific study of the universe, including the solar sytem, stars and galaxies.
Study of the space beyond the Earth and of its contents.
Studying & looking at space.
The science that studies the natural world beyond the earth.
Branch of science dedicated to the study of everything in the universe that lies above Earth's atmosphere.
The science concerned with celestial bodies and the observation and interpretation of the radiation received in the vicinity of the earth from the component parts of the universe (McGraw Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed)
The study of objects outside the earth's atmosphere such as celestial bodies and the solar system.
The study of the planets and stars.
The scientific study of the Universe and what it contains (planets, stars, galaxies, etc.), and how these things formed and evolved over time. Not to be confused with astrology, which is a set of beliefs about the influence of heavenly bodies on human affairs. Astrology is not generally accepted to be a science.
branch of science that studies stars, planets, and all other heavenly bodies.
The science that studies the positions, motions, and evolution of heavenly bodies and phenomena beyond Earth. Greek astronomia came to us via Latin and Old French and literally means 'watch the stars.'.The Latin term astrologia was the standard for studying the stars until the Greek astronomia was later introduced. In fact, the terms Astronomy and Astrology were once opposites of what they are today. Originally, astronomy signified 'divination' and astrology signified 'observation'. It wasn't until the 17th century that our current definitions were established.
The study of space and the heavenly bodies. Galileo's study of Earth's orbit around the sun is astronomy.
The science of the observation and material origins of stars and other celestial phenomena. Of relatively recent origin, this discipline has become separated from and generally hostile to astrology.
(noun) The study of objects and matter outside the earth's atmosphere and of their physical and chemical properties.
Intelligence gathering directed towards macroscopic observation of the cosmos; stargazing. Compare Astrology.
"Law of the stars" (Greek: ¥¥¥¥¥, + vouoc) is a science involving earth's atmosphere and beyond. It studies the origins, evolution, physical, and chemical properties of planets, moons, stars, and observed objects.
The study of the stars and planets through the light of the Bible.
The study of the universe and the objects that exist naturally in space (such as stars and planets).
Is the study of the universe
Astronomy satellites are dedicated to the study of stellar objects, ranging from extremely distant galaxies, nebulae, etc. our own nearby Sun.
A scientific discipline devoted to the study of the non-terrestrial universe. Not to be confused with astrology.
the scientific study of matter in outer space, especially the positions, dimensions, distribution, motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial bodies and phenomena.
a discipline that uses the scientific method to understand the physical universe (usually beyond the Earth's atmosphere).

Astronomy is the science of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere (such as auroras and cosmic background radiation). It is concerned with the evolution, physics, chemistry, meteorology, and motion of celestial objects, as well as the formation and development of the universe. The word astronomy literally means "law of the stars" and is derived from the Greek αστÏονομία, astronomia, from the words άστÏον (astron, "stars") and νόμος (nomos, "law").
