what is the difference between aerospace, aeronautical engineering and astronautics?

I am in year 12 right now and Im very interested in stuff like International Space Station, Venus probes, space-based solar power and space crafts. So I’m going to apply for aerospace engineering courses using ucas but it lists even the courses for aeronautical engineering which I though is about the aircraft and not about the space crafts. In the future I want to pursue a career in the space development industry and not the that of aircraft. I dont want to be an aeronautical engineer so I should apply for a AEROSPACE engineering course right? This ucas makes me really confused…
So aerospace is about spacecraft and aeronautical is about aircraft right?
Please someone confirm me if Im right and I would be grateful if anyone could advice me on the course i should apply for….
