Astrophysicist

An astrophysicist studies the physical properties, origins, and behaviour of celestial objects such as stars, galaxies, black holes, and the universe itself. They apply principles of physics and mathematics to interpret astronomical observations, develop theoretical models, and conduct research using ground-based and space telescopes. Astrophysicists work in universities, government agencies like NASA, and research institutions, contributing to our understanding of cosmic phenomena and the fundamental laws of nature.
