Astrophysics and the cosmos

Astrophysics applies the methods of physics and chemistry to the objects and phenomena of the universe. These curations show how starlight helps uncover cosmic history, how physics explains galaxies, and how cosmology uses evidence to reveal the universe's history, structure and fate.

How astrophysics reads starlight for cosmic history

Astrophysics applies the methods and principles of physics and chemistry to study astronomical objects and phenomena, including the universe. How can reading starlight help uncover cosmic history, and what can you understand from it? The lessons connect the interpretation of light with the broader story of the cosmos.

How cosmology reveals the universe's history

Cosmology is the study of the nature of the universe, including its history, structure, dynamics, fate and governing physical laws. The lessons answer how evidence helps reveal the universe's history, building an understanding of how observations support accounts of cosmic change. They connect different kinds of evidence to the broader story of the universe.
