Astronomy, which etymologically means "law of the stars", is a science involving the observation and explanation of events occurring outside Earth and its atmosphere. Astronomy is often associated with astrophysics.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
Sputnik 1: The first artificial satellite to orbit Earth.
