astrophysical observations

Astrophysical observations involve studying celestial objects and phenomena—like stars, planets, galaxies, and cosmic rays—using telescopes and detectors across various wavelengths (radio, optical, X-ray). These measurements reveal their properties, such as composition, temperature, motion, and distance, helping us understand the universe's origins, evolution, and fundamental laws. By capturing light and signals from distant objects, astrophysics uncovers the life cycles of celestial bodies, the nature of dark matter and energy, and the conditions on exoplanets, providing a deeper insight into the universe's complex and dynamic nature.
