Stellar engineering

Stellar engineering is when scientists use their knowledge of engineering to study stars and other objects in space. Scientists use tools like telescopes, satellites, and powerful computers to explore the stars and planets around us. They use math and physics to figure out how stars work and use the data they collect to build models of how stars and planets form, move, and interact with each other. With this knowledge, they can plan and create rockets and satellites to explore our universe.
