Astrophysics & Cosmology

Astrophysics and cosmology study the universe's structure, origins, and evolution using principles from physics. Astrophysics focuses on celestial bodies—like stars and galaxies—examining their properties and interactions. Cosmology delves into the universe's history, such as the Big Bang and cosmic expansion. Experimental particle physics complements these fields by investigating the fundamental particles and forces that govern these celestial phenomena. Through experiments, scientists seek to understand how the smallest elements of matter relate to the vast scales of the universe, uncovering the underlying laws that govern everything from atoms to galaxies.
