Astronomy and Astrophysics

Astronomy is the study of celestial objects, space, and the universe as a whole, including stars, planets, galaxies, and more. Astrophysics delves deeper, focusing on the physical laws and processes that govern these cosmic phenomena. Within astrophysics, particle astrophysics explores the fundamental particles and forces that influence the behavior of the universe, examining things like cosmic rays, dark matter, and neutrinos. Together, these fields aim to uncover the origins, structure, and evolution of the universe, providing insights into both the vast cosmos and the fundamental nature of matter itself.
