Cosmic Phenomena - Page 14

Cosmic phenomena refer to events and occurrences that take place in the universe, particularly those happening on a large scale beyond Earth's atmosphere. This includes a wide range of astronomical events such as supernovae, black holes, quasars, gamma-ray bursts, and cosmic microwave background radiation. Cosmic phenomena illustrate the fundamental processes and dynamics operating within the cosmos, often involving massive energies, gravitational effects, and intricate cosmic interactions. They help scientists understand the formation and evolution of celestial bodies, the structure of galaxies, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and ultimately the origins of the universe itself. These phenomena are typically studied through observational and theoretical astrophysics, utilizing a variety of tools ranging from telescopes to particle accelerators, to gain insight into the workings of the universe on both grand and minute scales.
