Astronomy & Astrophysics

Astronomy and astrophysics are scientific fields that study celestial objects and phenomena beyond Earth's atmosphere. Astronomy observes stars, planets, galaxies, and the universe's structure, focusing on their positions and movements. Astrophysics delves into understanding the physical laws and processes governing these objects, such as how stars form, evolve, and die, as well as the nature of dark matter and cosmic radiation. Together, they help us comprehend the universe’s origins, evolution, and our place within it. These fields combine observation with physics to unravel the universe’s mysteries through both telescopic data and theoretical models.
