Intro Space Science

Space science explores the universe, covering disciplines like astrophysics, cosmo chemistry, and astro geology. It addresses questions about the universe's origin, life beyond Earth, and human colonization. Astrophysicists study celestial bodies, while cosmo chemists and astro geologists focus on chemical and geological aspects. Space weather affects satellites and Earth, driven by solar activity. The field supports modern technology and seeks answers to fundamental questions.
