Astronomy

Object 'Astronomy' belongs to the 'Branches Of Science' theme.

Connection to Physics:

Astronomy is essentially physics at a very macro scale. Astronomy uses physics constantly. In turn, theoretical physicists have used astronomical knowledge to refine their view of reality. For example, the study of black holes has led to the formulation of string theory.

Connection to Chemisty:

Astronomers use radio spectrometry to obtain knowledge about the chemical makeup of distant bodies like planets and stars.

Connection to Biology:

It's now known that all but the lightest elements were created in stars, in particular all living creatures on Earth are ultimately made of star-stuff.

If we discover planets that could potentially harbor life, we would need to understand how astronomical and planetary conditions shape biological development.
