What do you know about astronomy? Astronomy is a fascinating but complex subject. Professional astronomy is separated into observational and theoretical branches. Observational astronomy is concerned with obtaining information from observations of these celestial beings. The data is then analyzed using basic principles of physics. Theoretical astronomy is directed toward the creation of computer or analytical models to describe astronomical items and phenomena. This remarkable astronomy quiz will have you over the moon.
