∙ 14y agoAstronomy is looking at stars or planets or phenomenons in the night sky. Just going outside on a clear night and looking at the stars is basic astronomy. If you want to relly become involved, the next thing to do would be to get a book about astronomy, showing where certain stars and constellations are, and then you should get a pair of binoculars. A set of 10 x 50s are good to start with it. this is not what the person asked. an example of astronomy is like the big bang, that created the universe. pretty much anything to do with the universe, stars and planets is astronomy.

∙ 14y agoSomething as simple as looking at the moon or stars is astronomy. At a more scientific level, studying the composition of stars or studying surfaces of planets or looking at distant galaxies are all astronomy.

∙ 15y agoAstronomy is the study of the stars, planets and space. If you look up at the night sky you are basically taking part in astronomy. Astronomers know more about it and can name stars and constellations, tell you where to find the planets in the sky and do more detailed study on all of these things.
