That is my question, there are applications of the branch of topology or abstract algebra to the astronomy? I know that there are to physics but to astronomy?

The whole area of qualitative dynamical systems, which contains plenty of topology, was inaugurated by Poincaré to answer questions in celestial mechanics. (I hope this counts as astronomy.)
