Genesis leaves nothing out of the picture. It refers to the moon as the ruler of the night.

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

Genesis believes in Earth's capacity in the presence of other celestial bodies. Any reason modern study should leave out the understanding science brings to ourselves? Any reason why human beings are not given the gift of understanding as provided for in permission in the Bible?

Genesis doesn't separate the bodies of study from each other, they are related. One vault is incorporated into another and there is life on Earth. Sort of a cookbook. Flour from one vault, water from another, yeast from another and sugar from yet another to mix together and bake bread.

Genesis invites the thinking of our world as a whole to any aspect of life. Therefore it is the mix of all the elements of life that are as important as any other. The atmospheres of Earth are not easily seen, but, they are vital beyond any capacity to imagine to life's very existence.
