Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) examines the evolution of the chemical content of galaxies over a period through star formation, stellar evolution, and feedback mechanisms. It offers a model for explaining the metallicity or element distribution of stars and the interstellar medium and the star formation and galactic evolution history.Galactic chemical evolution is also related to cosmic chemical evolution, which ties the enrichment of individual galaxies back to the universe as a whole and the formation of elements upon which planets and life can be formed. Spectroscopic, photometric, and chemical abundance surveys observations offer key data to check models.To sum up, galactic chemical evolution defines how galaxies enrich themselves with elements over cosmic time scales. Through the study of nucleosynthesis, supernova feedback, and metallicity trends, astronomers reveal the history of galaxy formation, stellar populations, and chemical element origins in the universe.
