Astrophysics

Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy that focuses on the physical properties and underlying processes of celestial objects and phenomena. It combines principles from physics and astronomy to study the nature of stars, galaxies, planets, black holes, and the universe as a whole. Astrophysicists seek to understand the fundamental laws of physics as they apply to cosmic environments, exploring concepts such as gravity, radiation, and thermodynamics in the context of space. This field encompasses various topics, including the formation and evolution of stars, the dynamics of galaxies, cosmology, and the behavior of matter and energy under extreme conditions found in space.
