What's the difference between astrophysics and anstronomy?
what's the difference between astrophysicist and anstronomer?|||Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere
Astrophysics deals with the _physics_ of the universe, including the physical properties (luminosity, density, temperature, and chemical composition) of celestial object
The study of cosmology is theoretical astrophysics at scales much larger than the size of particular gravitationally-bound objects in the universe.
I'd say they are about the same.
astrophysics work with _physics_, like math and equations, relativity, the 4 major forces and newtons laws.
astronomy is observing patterns in the night sky and understanding whats what.
its just math and physics versus general understanding and cataloging|||astronomers are exciting.
at a party, an astronomer can tell interesting stories about how hard it is to get to the Purple Mtn Observatory in China or the Mauna Kea Observatory.
astrophysicists sit in the corner and set their digital watches to 1) count down the seconds until they can leave and 2) beep when they should call their moms and tell them to tape Xena: Warrior Princess.|||Astrophysics is the study of the hardware and astronomy the study of the software|||pretty good question for someone who is trying to cheat on their science test

What is the basic knowledge of physics should we have to study astrophysics?
I'm studying physics at undergraduate level , i'm interested in astrophysics , i want to do masters in astrophysics......please give some suggestions|||I would expect that the prerequisite for a masters in astrophysics would be a physics major. A basic understanding of particle physics, quantum physics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and the like would be useful.
Your best bet would be to ask one of your lecturers what units you should take if you want to do astrophysics later on. They should tell you what the good ones are (or if they don't they'd be able to tell you who to ask).

What are schooling options for someone looking to go into astrophysics?
I'm looking into a bachelor of science in physics and my doctorate in astronomy, but i was wondering if that's the best way to go.. and what colleges would offer me those degrees? i'm still in high school and looking ar all of my options so i'm pretty much open to anything.|||Pretty much every school has a physics major, and offers the classes you'd want to take in math, astronomy, and computer science. The important thing is to go to a school that gives you opportunities to do undergraduate research. So while it's tempting to apply to all the top grad schools for undergrad, some of those have so many grad students that undergrads have trouble getting chances to do research or work with professors. So consider liberal arts colleges as well; some of them have a lot of astronomers and physicists on staff. And check out your local state universities as well; it's cheaper and many of them are excellent.
What is the new "frontier" of science in the realm of astronomy & astrophysics?
What I mean, is that throughout human history, mankind has observed and done research on celestial objects and how everything works.
At one time, it wasn't known that the earth was spherical. At one time we were figuring out how gravity worked. At one time we were discovering the curvature of spacetime.
We continue to learn more and more about the universe and I'm just wondering what the current mystery/mysteries about the universe we're trying to unravel.
I don't know if it's string-theory, black holes, worm holes, or what.|||Dark Matter and Dark Energy are the frontier for astrophysics right now, searching for goldilocks zone exoplanets is pretty cool, but not really a frontier, because we already know how to do it (it's just a matter of time now). String theory is mainly the concern of particle physicists, rather than astrophysicists, though there is certainly some overlap between them.|||the new "frontier" for science is any nanotechnology...
as far as the new frontier for astronomy, i would say that the research at the LHC and fermi lab are in that category along with string theory......but understanding everything about black holes will also be very interesting|||Dark Matter and Dark Energy are the latest mysteries to be solved. There is also the elusive "Theory of Everything", which could either help explain dark matter and energy, or be helped by figuring out what they are.|||Exoplanets, we're finding tons, and we're not even close to done yet. I would be surprised if we didn't find an earth like planet in a star's habitable zone by the end of the decade.

What classes are recommended for a future career in astrophysics?
Im a sophomore this year, taking Algebra 2, and Properties of Physics and Chemistry (intro course to the two classes, PPC). Next year I plan to take Chemistry, Pre-calc, and Physics. Is there really anything else I should take, or consider taking?|||That's good for high school. In college, you'll want to major in physics and take classes in math, astronomy, and computer science (you'll also need great reading, writing, and public speaking skills). Spend your college summers doing research at your school and others to make sure that research is really what you want to do for the rest of your life and to gain experience for grad school. After college, apply to grad school in physics or astrophysics (some schools combine the depts; a PhD in physics is more useful) for the PhD. That's 8-12 years of college total, and most jobs in the field require another 2-5 years of postdoc experience. Also, there aren't a ton of jobs in the field.
What are the best colleges for Astrophysics?
I plan to go to college for astrophysics, which are some of the best colleges in the country for this|||MIT !! thats where I go hahahaha
