Where can I find documentation for "System Events"?

Question

Since "System Events" is the most commonly used application in AppleScript scripting, where can I find its documentation?

For example, it provides access to a window's contents with keyword "UI elements". Where can I find the full list of keywords that it supports?

@KenThomases No that's what I'm looking for. I'll accept if you make this statement into an answer... — NS.X.

You can open the library for System Events in the Script Editor utility. That will show the terms of its scripting interface along with some basic reference documentation.

It might be useful to share how precisely to do this. E.G. in the Script Editor File menu, choose "Open Dictionary", choose "System Events" from the list.
