Cassiopeia A Light Echoes in Infrared

Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of stellar phenomena. Studies include the physical characteristics of the stars and other heavenly bodies, their chemical constitution, light, heat, atmospheres, etc. Observations are typically made with the spectroscope, bolometer, and other instruments, usually used with a telescope.
