ASTROPHYSICS, the branch of astronomical science which treats of the physical constitution of the heavenly bodies.
Astrophysics for Senior Physics
Astronomy is perhaps the oldest of sciences yet continues to be a thriving area of scientific investigation. Scarcely a week passes without some news item regarding a new astronomical discovery or event.

Astrophysics for a Ten-Year-Old Mind
A joule expended continuously for one second is a watt, which means a liter of water, converted to energy could power a 1 watt light bulb for 9 - 1016 seconds, or 2.5 - 1013 hours.
astrophysics - The part of astronomy that deals principally with the physics of stars, stellar systems, and interstellar material. Astrophysics also deals with the structures and atmospheres of the sun and planets.
Astrophysics was born when Newton used his theory of gravity to correctly derived Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Kepler's laws of planetary motion around the Sun are the simplest empirical equations that describe the motion of the planets.

Black holes in Astrophysics
Now black holes are a phenomenon predicted by the equations of Einstein's theory of general relativity. However, we have never directly seen or measured a black hole. How indeed would we "see" a black hole?
