astrophysical models

Astrophysical models are scientific frameworks used to understand and predict the behavior of celestial objects and phenomena, such as stars, galaxies, and the universe itself. These models apply principles from physics, particularly those of gravity and thermodynamics, to explain how these entities form, evolve, and interact. Scientists use data from observations and experiments to refine these models, making them more accurate over time. Examples include models of black hole formation, the life cycle of stars, and the expansion of the universe. Ultimately, they help us grasp the complexities of the cosmos and our place within it.
