Astrophysical research is a field of study that involves the study of outer space, including the origins, evolution, and properties of celestial objects such as stars, planets, galaxies, and other astronomical phenomena. This research often involves using telescopes, satellites, and other tools to observe and analyze celestial objects and phenomena, as well as theoretical modeling to explain the underlying physical processes at work in the universe. Astrophysical research aims to deepen our understanding of the universe and its many mysteries, from the formation of stars and galaxies to the nature of dark matter and dark energy. This field encompasses a wide range of sub-disciplines, including astrophysics, cosmology, and planetary science.
