Astrophysics

Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy that applies the principles of physics and chemistry to understand the universe’s celestial objects and phenomena. It seeks to explain the origins, evolution, and behavior of stars, galaxies, black holes, and the universe itself by investigating the fundamental forces and processes at play. Astrophysicists study various aspects, including the formation of stars, the dynamics of galaxies, the properties of cosmic radiation, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy. The field often overlaps with cosmology, which focuses on the large-scale structure and history of the universe. Astrophysics combines observational data collected from telescopes and space missions with theoretical models to make predictions and expand our understanding of the cosmos.
