From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Astrophysics (lang-el: Astro - meaning "star", and lang-el: physis – φύσις meaning "nature") is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of the universe, including the physical properties (luminosity, density, temperature, and chemical composition) of celestial objects such as galaxies, stars, planets, exoplanets, and the interstellar medium, as well as their interactions. The study of cosmology is theoretical astrophysics at scales much larger than the size of particular gravitationally-bound objects in the universe. Because astrophysics is a very broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics, including mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, nuclear and particle physics, and atomic and molecular physics. In practice, modern astronomical research involves a substantial amount of physics. The name of a university's department ("astrophysics" or "astronomy") often has to do more with the department's history than with the contents of the programs. Astrophysics can be studied at the bachelors, masters, and Ph.D. levels in aerospace engineering, physics, or astronomy departments at many universities. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License do you need to be a genius to get a career in astrophysics? Q. im 16,and looking for a career, im okay at math and logic,but nowhere near genius level, astrophysics has always fascinated me though! can i realistically be successful as an astrophysicist? i'd prefer if answerers actually did it in college, or had some experience of what its like. Asked by Loki - Sat Mar 17 18:25:58 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. No, you don't, but others (non-astrophysicists) think you do! If you could strive to be...er...considerably more than "okay" at mathematics, especially the relevant branches, of course, it would be an enormous asset, both for studying and working in this fascinating field. It would also give you more "clout" when persuing a specific area you might be most drawn to. Nearly all astrophysicists that I have met, not to mention those who have written books and articles on the subject, had one big thing in common, and it wasn't genius. It was an almost childlike wonder and awe about the stellar inhabitants of our universe, and an intense curiosity to find out more about them. Most did have to work their asses off to get their degrees;… [cont.] Answered by kathjarq - Sat Mar 17 19:15:22 2007 What questions are unknown in physics, chemistry, astrophysics, and cosmology ? Q. Wondering if anyone has any relatively hard to find, unknown questions in the 4 fields. I just want something I could look into to see why we don't know it. And do a thought experiment or two.

There actually is a "rule" for where to put your questions. Unfortunately, you are in the wrong category. "Putting your question where it belongs. Categorize your question correctly. Placing your question in the right category ensures that it is seen by people who can give you better information and more accurate answers."
