Astronomy covers a lot of areas like the study of stars, galaxies, nebulae, clusters, asteroids, comets and of course planets. If you go out and look at the night sky, if you know where to look, you will see some of the planets. Currently, in February 2009, Venus is visible as a very bright object in the west after sunset and Saturn is visible through much of the night near the constellation of Leo. Just looking at them, or when we are specifically observing or studying planets we are engaging in astronomy.
