Astrophysics

Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy that applies the principles and methods of physics to understand celestial bodies and the universe as a whole. It involves the study of the physical properties and behaviors of objects such as stars, planets, black holes, galaxies, and the interstellar medium. Astrophysicists investigate fundamental questions about the origins, evolution, and structure of the universe, including phenomena such as gravitational waves, the cosmic microwave background radiation, and dark matter. The field combines observational data with theoretical models, often leveraging advanced mathematical tools and physics concepts to interpret the nature of cosmic events and the underlying laws governing the universe.
