Galactic Archeology

Galactic archaeology is the scientific study of our galaxy's history by examining the composition, movements, and properties of stars. Just like archaeologists uncover ancient artifacts to learn about past civilizations, astronomers analyze stars' ages and chemical makeup to understand how the Milky Way formed and evolved over billions of years. This field helps us piece together the galaxy's story, including past collisions, star formation, and growth, providing insights into cosmic processes and the universe's history.
