Astronomy is a science that studies celestial objects and phenomena and explains their origin and evolution. It includes Stellar Astronomy, Galactic Astronomy, Extragalactic Astronomy, Planetary Science, etc.
Astrophysics is a science that employs the methods and principles of physics in the study of astronomical objects and phenomena. It includes Observational Astrophysics and Theoretical Astrophysics. The objects studied include stars, galaxies, extrasolar planets, etc.
Cosmology is a branch of astronomy concerned with the study of the chronology of the universe including it's origin and dynamics. It includes Physical Cosmology, which is studied by physicists, astronomers, and even philosophers.
Astronautics (or cosmonautics) is the theory and practice of travel beyond Earth's atmosphere into outer space. Spaceflight is one of its main applications and is an application of astronautics to fly spacecraft into or through outer space, either with or without humans on board. Astronautics is a subset of Aerospace Engineering.
The Aerospace Industry designs, manufactures, and operates vehicles moving through air and space. Aerospace engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the development of aircrafts and spacecrafts. It has two major and overlapping branches: Aeronautical Engineering and Astronautical Engineering. Aeronautics, along with Astronautics, is another subset of Aerospace Engineering.
Space, particularly microgravity, makes life different to life on Earth. Mundane needs such as air, pressure, temperature and light, as well as movement, hygiene and food intake are confronted with challenges.
Venturing into space can have negative effects on the human body. Significant adverse effects of long-term weightlessness include muscle atrophy, deterioration of the skeleton and many other significant effects that can have a lasting impact on the human body. Space Medicine is used to treat problems like these in space.
The growth of plants in outer space has elicited much scientific interest. In the late 20th and early 21st century, plants were often taken into space in low Earth orbit to be grown in specialized space gardens. In the context of human space life, they can be consumed as food and provide a refreshing atmosphere.
Space food is a type of food product created and processed for consumption by astronauts during outer space missions. The food has a lot of specific requirements. Most space food is freeze-dried and stored in disposable packages to ensure a long shelf life.
