Answer 2

Astronomy over time has changed dramatically, in fact so fast, that they are still trying to catch up.

Astronomy now covers all of the sciences, from mathematics, physics, chemistry, Biology, Earth Sciences and engineering. When we find extrasolar life, I'm sure more sciences will come on board.

So much so, that to study astronomy to its full, you will need to understand - at least some of - all the other sciences.

No longer is astronomy a matter of staying up all night peering through a telescope, although most people still think of it as that.

Answer 6

Physics
