Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy that applies the principles and theories of physics to understand the properties, behavior, and interactions of celestial objects and phenomena in the universe. It encompasses the study of stars, planets, galaxies, black holes, and the overall structure and evolution of the cosmos. Astrophysicists seek to explain how these entities form, evolve, and ultimately end their life cycles, often exploring fundamental questions about the nature of time, space, and the fundamental forces that govern the universe. Techniques in astrophysics include observational methods, theoretical modeling, and computational simulations.
