astrophysicist

An astrophysicist is a scientist who studies the universe beyond Earth's atmosphere, including stars, planets, galaxies, black holes, and cosmic phenomena. They explore how these objects form, evolve, and interact, often using telescopes and spacecraft to gather data. Their work helps us understand fundamental questions about the universe's origin, structure, and future. Astrophysicists combine physics, mathematics, and astronomy to analyze observations and develop theories about celestial processes, expanding our knowledge of the cosmos and our place within it.
