You should know that astronomy is the study of objects and phenomena in outer space, including stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae, comets, asteroids, and other celestial bodies. Astronomy also includes the study of the physical processes that govern these objects and phenomena, such as their formation, evolution, composition, and interactions with each other. Additionally, you should be familiar with the basics of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer programming. Finally, having a good understanding of basic science principles, such as biology, geology, and meteorology, can help you to better understand astronomy.
