Introduction
Astronomy is one of the sections of House of Science and Technology; in this department we are focusing on of the study of objects and phenomena beyond Earth, in space.
Astronomy which is a branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole. Since the 20th century there have been two main types of astronomy, observational and theoretical astronomy. Observational astronomy uses telescopes and cameras to observe or look at stars, galaxies and other astronomical objects and in HSTO our main focuses on Observational astronomy.
Achievements
Rocket and space simulation in HSTO
