Cosmic physics is the branch of physics that studies the behavior and properties of celestial objects, such as stars, galaxies, and black holes.
Think of cosmic physics as being like a giant puzzle. It helps us understand how all the pieces in the universe fit together and how they interact with each other.
Astrophysics: The study of the physical properties and behavior of celestial objects.
Cosmology: The study of the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe.
Stellar Evolution: The process by which stars change over time, from their formation to their eventual death.
