Astrophysics

Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy that applies the principles of physics and chemistry to understand celestial bodies and the universe as a whole. This scientific field focuses on the study of phenomena such as the formation, evolution, and eventual fate of stars, galaxies, planets, and other astronomical objects. Astrophysicists investigate fundamental problems concerning the nature of the universe, including the behavior and properties of matter and energy in extreme conditions, the laws of gravity, cosmic radiation, and the expansion of the universe. Through the use of theoretical models and observational data, astrophysics seeks to explain the underlying physical processes that govern astronomical events and structures, culminating in a comprehensive understanding of the cosmos.
