Introduction to Astrophysics

Astrophysics studies astronomical phenomena using physics and chemistry. Astrophysics "seeks to ascertain the nature of the heavenly bodies, rather than their positions or motions in space-what they are, rather than where they are," according to James Keeler, one of its founders. The sun, galaxies, extrasolar planets, the interstellar medium, and the cosmic microwave background are all being explored. These objects are examined for luminosity, density, temperature, and chemical composition across the electromagnetic spectrum. Classical mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, nuclear and particle physics, and atomic and molecular physics are all used by astronomers because astrophysics is so broad.  Introduction to Astrophysics certification is provided by Udemy to candidates interested in learning about contemporary astronomical research.

Introduction to Astrophysics online training comprises six hours of video streams, and those who finish the course will have unlimited virtual access to the materials and a digital certificate.
