What Is the Difference Between Astronomy and Astrophysics?

Image
It's easy to think that astronomy and astrophysics are just synonyms, but they have several key differences. Astronomy is the study of stars and planets, galaxies, and other matter that can be seen from Earth. Astrophysics is the study of the physical nature of such objects that can't be observed from Earth with visible light, such as black holes and dark matter: According to Dr. Mohamad Abbas, the field of astronomy has been around longer. Astronomy is a branch of physics, a word that refers to the measurable properties of matter at all levels. Astrophysics isn't limited to observations made from Earth; it also involves observations made from outer space by telescopes such as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory. Both astronomy and astrophysics involve several subdisciplines that represent different ways of looking at objects in space. These include observational astronomy, which involves observation and cate

What are some possible careers in astronomy?

Image
Do you find the study of stars, moons, planets, and comets to be interesting? If so, an Astronomy career would be the best fit for you. Astronomy is the study of celestial objects such as the sun, moon, stars, planets, comets, space, and other extraterrestrial objects. Dr. Mohamad Abbas , a Science Communicator , states that there is a great scope in astronomy as a career. Let’s know what Astronomy is exactly. The area of physics known as astronomy is concerned with the study of celestial objects such as planets, stars, and galaxies. It is the study of the physical and chemical characteristics of objects that are not part of the earth's atmosphere. Astronomers are researchers who study the planets in our solar system to learn more about "how the universe works." It contains a study on the development of stars. Astronomers use mathematical and physical principles to study the universe. They collect information about the properties of planets, moons, stars, and other o
