Astronomy And Astrophysics Bootcamp By Spotle

Whether you want to build a career in astrophysics or space or are just exploring the areas out of interest, this Spotle bootcamp will get you started in the fascinating world of astrophysics and astronomy. In this course you will learn aboutOverview of astronomy and astrophysicsThe concept of timeCosmic or celestial materialsThe SunFundamental of forces and gravitational forceEscape velocity and black holesDifferent types of telescopesApplication of artificial intelligence in space explorationCareer options in astronomy and astrophysicsThe question arises - What is the difference between Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology. So, the differences are very simple.

Astronomy actually measures the positions, luminosities, motions and other characteristics of any celestial object, whereas Astrophysics creates the physical theories of small to medium sized structures in the universe, remember, small to medium sized structures in the universe. Whereas, Cosmology does this for large structures, i. e.

, the entire universe as a whole - all, like galaxies or like other larger structures in the universe. In our chapter 1, we will start with the basic concept of Astronomy & Astrophysics. So, first let us know what is Astrophysics.

So, Astrophysics is a branch of space science that applies the laws of Physics and Chemistry to explain the birth, life and death of stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae, and other objects in the universe as well. It has two sibling sciences - Astrophysics and Cosmology. So, now let's move to them also.
