There are many branches of science. A simple answer would be the main 3 areas: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Any other areas of science usually stem from one of these main 3 areas. In the related links section I have included links to examples of the 3 main areas of science.
How do computers have to do with science?
Science is the pursuit of knowledge. Learning about anything is a science. Computer Science is the science of computers and how the are controlled and also other aspects of computing, like databases, networking, programming and a lot of other subjects. Computers are also involved in all sorts of other areas of science, as people use computers to do many different things. Nowadays computers are important in most areas of science.

What is the science of measurement of celestial bodies?
This question appears to be related to what is called "outer space". With that in mind, the science of astronomy is the correct answer. With that said, however, it's important to know that astronomers often rely on the expertise of other scientists that work in the fields of physics, materials science and meteorology. These areas of expertise help astronomers in many aspects of their work including measurements.
What are the two methods of measurement One is used in the US and the other in most all other countries?
