Cosmology and astrophysics are branches of science that seek to explore the mysteries of the universe, from its origins to its structure and evolution. Cosmology delves into the large-scale properties of the cosmos, exploring the fundamental questions about the universe's origin, its age, its composition, and its eventual fate. It encompasses theories such as the Big Bang, cosmic inflation, dark matter, and dark energy. Astrophysics, on the other hand, focuses on the physical processes that govern celestial bodies, including stars, galaxies, and black holes. It studies the properties of matter and energy in extreme environments and investigates phenomena like stellar nucleosynthesis, gravitational waves, and the formation of planetary systems. Both of these subjects have diverse applications ranging from space exploration, satellite communications, GPS and navigation, climate science, energy production and more. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of cosmology and astroph ysics. It traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
