Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects like stars‚ comets‚ planets and galaxies. It is derived from Greek words astron and nomos which mean ’star’ and ’law’ respectively. It is related with formation and development of the universe‚ motion of celestial objects‚ evolution‚ physics and chemistry.Since the 20th century‚ the field of astronomy has got divided into two branches: observational and theoretical. Observational astronomy emphasis on acquiring and analyzing the data by using

believed that the asteroids were the remains of a planet that was destroyed many years ago. This theory can not be proven true because‚ the location of the asteroid belt could not be home to a planet due to Jupiters gravitational pull. It is now believed that asteroid are planetesimals broken down by collision‚ also known as a minute planet. A planetesimal is a body that could or did come together with many others under gravitation to form a planet. This theory explains why the silicate rich asteroids
