troChapter 1: Charting the Heavens (Astronomy Today) SUMMARY The universe is the totality of all space‚ time‚ matter‚ and energy. Astronomy is the study of the universe. A widely used unit of distance in astronomy is the light year‚ the distance traveled by a beam of light in one year. Early observers grouped the thousands of stars visible to the naked eye into patterns called constellations. These patterns have no physical significance‚ although they are a very useful means of labeling regions

Outer Space For years‚ astronomers‚ scientists of all kinds‚ and even average people have wondered if there is such thing as life on other planets. Many dedicate all of their time to researching extraterrestrial life. Some believe researching something we have no proof of is a waste of time.
