Astrophysics

Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy that applies the principles and methods of physics to understand the nature and behavior of celestial bodies and the universe as a whole. It studies phenomena such as the formation, evolution, and eventual fate of stars, galaxies, planets, and other astronomical objects. Astrophysics also explores fundamental concepts such as gravity, electromagnetism, nuclear processes, and quantum mechanics in the context of cosmic events. By combining observations with theoretical models, astrophysicists aim to explain the physical properties of the universe, including its origin in the Big Bang, the nature of black holes, the behavior of dark matter and dark energy, and the processes governing the lifecycle of stars.
