Frequently asked questions

Astronomy is the scientific study of objects and events beyond Earth's atmosphere. It examines everything from the Moon and planets to distant galaxies, black holes, and the origins of the universe using observation, mathematics, and scientific evidence.
Although the names sound similar, they are very different. Astronomy is a science based on observation, experiments, and evidence, while astrology is a belief system that suggests the positions of celestial bodies influence human lives. Modern astronomy does not support astrological claims.
Space exploration helps us understand how the universe works and answers questions about the origins of planets, stars, and galaxies. It has also led to technologies that benefit everyday life, including satellite communication, weather forecasting, GPS navigation, and advances in engineering and medicine.
Scientists are still investigating questions about dark matter, dark energy, black holes, the formation of galaxies, and whether life exists elsewhere in the universe. New telescopes and space missions continue to provide data that helps researchers explore these mysteries.
Astronomy helps us understand our place in the universe while encouraging curiosity, scientific thinking, and exploration. It connects many branches of science and shows how discoveries made in space often lead to innovations that improve life here on Earth.
