17 BRANCHES
OF
ASTRONOMY
Astronomy applies the concepts from physics, biology, and geology to explain
their origin and evolution. We can divide astronomy into 4 sub-fields:
ASTROPHYSICS:
Applying the laws of physics in space
ASTROMETRY:
Mapping celestial bodies
ASTROGEOLOGY:
Examining rocks, terrain, and material in space
ASTROBIOLOGY:
Searching for life outside Earth
ASTROPHYSICS
How the laws of physics apply to stars and celestial bodies.
COSMOLOGY
How the universe was created, evolved, and its ultimate fate.
SPECTROSCOPY
How light reflects, absorbs, and transfers between matter.
PHOTOMETRY
How luminous astronomical objects are in space based on
electromagnetic radiation.
HELIOPHYSICS
How the sun’s constant and dynamic radiation affects its
surroundings in space.
HELIOSEISMOLOGY
How the interior structure and dynamics of stars are composed
by observing waves from their surface.
ASTEROSEISMOLOGY
How to study the internal structure of stars by observing their
oscillations.
ASTROMETRY
How celestial bodies are positioned and move in space.
PLANETOLOGY
How planets form in the solar systems including their composition
and dynamics in history.
EXOPLANETOLOGY
How many and where planets exist outside our solar system.
ASTROGEOLOGY
How geology relates to celestial bodies like moons, asteroids,
meteorites and comets.
AREOLOGY
How geology is composed on Mars.
SELENOGRAPHY
How physical features on the moon formed such as lunar maria,
craters, and mountain ranges.
EXOGEOLOGY
How geology relates to celestial bodies like moons, asteroids,
meteorites, and comets.
ASTROBIOLOGY
How life (including extraterrestrials) in the universe evolved,
originated, and what will be its fate.
EXOBIOLOGY
How likely and where is life in space.
ASTROCHEMISTRY
How to study substances in celestial bodies, stars, and interstellar space.
