From the discovery of planets around other stars to the most distant galaxies, astrophysics explores the wonders of the universe and plays a pioneering role in understanding the world we live in - and what lies beyond. The fields of physics and astrophysics are constantly evolving, with new inventions and discoveries happening every day, which is why these are still such highly sought after and relevant disciplines today.
