Astrophysics

Astrophysics is the study of things in space, like stars, planets, asteroids, and galaxies! Astrophysicists use telescopes and spacecraft to look at stars and galaxies in the sky, and with powerful computers they can create simulations to help understand how they move and interact with other objects around them! To understand how things in space work, astrophysicists also use mathematics and physics to figure out how gravity, light, and energy works in space.
