Stellar Astronomy

Stellar astronomy is the study of stars: their formation, evolution, and eventual fate. It is an essential part of cosmology, which explores the universe's structure and history, and planetary science, which examines celestial bodies like planets and moons. By observing stars, astronomers can learn about the chemical makeup of the universe, the life cycles of stars, and the forces that govern their behavior. This field helps us understand not only our own Sun and solar system but also distant galaxies and the fundamental processes that shape the cosmos.
