To find books on Astronomy and Cosmology look at what the booksellers listed in this category have to offer. Astronomy is the study of objects and phenomena beyond Earth. Astronomers study objects as close as the Moon and the rest of the solar system through the stars of the Milky Way Galaxy and out to distant galaxies billions of light-years away. Astronomy is the study of everything in the universe. ... Cosmology is a subsection of astronomy, and deals with the nature of the universe itself: its beginnings, its early history, its current state, and its eventual end

Cosmology is a branch of astronomy that involves the origin and evolution of the universe, from the Big Bang to today and on into the future. According to NASA, the definition of cosmology is "the scientific study of the large scale properties of the universe as a whole."

Astronomy is the science of the positions and movements of the celestial bodies in space. Cosmology studies the structure, origin, and evolution of the universe as a whole.

The four sub-fields of Astronomy are: Astrophysics; Astrometry; Astrogeology; and Astrobiology. The following gives a brief description of each sub-field and its focus. Astrophysics, as a scientific discipline, was born in mid-nineteenth-century Europe.

Physical cosmology is the branch of physics and astrophysics that deals with the study of the physical origins and evolution of the Universe. It also includes the study of the nature of the Universe on a large scale. In its earliest form, it was what is now known as "celestial mechanics", the study of the heavens.

Cosmology is a sub-field of Astrophysics, while Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of the universe, Cosmology studies the universe as a whole. In the most rigid sense: Astrophysics creates physical theories of small to medium-size objects and structures in the universe. Astronomy measures the positions, luminosities, motions and other characteristics of celestial objects. Cosmology covers the cosmos' largest structures and the universe as a whole

Cosmology, an area of science that aims at a comprehensive theory of the structure and evolution of the entire physical universe. totality of matter and energy in existence. The study of the origin of the universe, or cosmos, is known as cosmogony, and that of its structure and evolution, cosmology.

Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. It uses mathematics, physics, and chemistry in order to explain their origin and evolution. Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and comets.
