	Astrophysics Summary
		It may be argued that the first true astrophysicist was Sir Isaac Newton, who explained the orbits of the planets, which had been known from antiquity, from his laws of motion and his universal law of gravity.
		The list of such contributions of physical principles with astronomical observations goes on and on: the union of the two has been quite successful indeed.
		Because it is a very broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics including, but not limited to, mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, nuclear and particle physics, and atomic and molecular physics.

	Book Information: Farthest Star :: Internet Book List :: A database of book information and reviews
		Designated Object Lambda when it first appeared on the fringes of the galaxy, 20,000 light-years away, it was traveling too fast, at one-sixth the speed of light.
		Astrophysicists said that it was vast, light-years across, improbably massless, and had the potential for utter destruction.
		So an existing space probe was reoriented to intercept it, and staffed with replicates, both humans and aliens.

	A Mystery in the Galactic Center
		Astrophysicists, announcing their findings in January 2000, were ebullient at this observational evidence for a supermassive fl hole in the Milky Way's nucleus.
		Moreover, from the specific way the X-rays brightened and dimmed, astrophysicists calculated that Sagittarius A* was only about 15 million kilometers across-less than a quarter the diameter of the orbit of the planet Mercury around our Sun.
		This observational evidence of small size coupled with enormous mass seemed to clinch the case for its being a supermassive fl hole.

	Astromart News - Astrophysicists Determine Sun's Location in Milky Way
		Astrophysicists have determined with unprecedented accuracy that our Sun is located halfway between the Sagittarius Arm (closest to the galaxy center) and the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
		The distance from the Sun to each of the spiral arms is 6400 light years.
		Astrophysicists have found that the Perseus spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy lies only half as far from Earth as previous studies had suggested.

		Astrophysicists use it to study stellar dynamics at the galactic center, stellar dynamics in a globular cluster, colliding galaxies, and the formation of the structure of the Universe.
		The strongest evidence we have for the belief that there is a fl hole in the center of the Milky Way comes from very accurate N-body simulations.
		Many of the problems that astrophysicists want to solve have millions or billions of particles.

	Berkeley Book List: Cosmology and Physics
		The rate of progress in cosmology is still rapid and any reading list in the field will have to be updated regularly.
		Over the last 30 years, Smoot has led a succession of projects that have helped to change the nature of the quest to understand the origin and evolution of the universe.
		Smoot was one of the first pioneering astrophysicists who devised ways to conduct experiments that produced data and information about the early universe.

	Open Star Clusters
		First thought to be nebulae, it was Galileo who in 1609 discovered that they are composed of stars, when observing M44.
		As open clusters are often bright and easily observable with small telescopes, many of them have been discovered with the earliest telescopes: As seen in the list below, there are 27 in Messier's Catalog, and 32 others were also known in summer 1782.

	[wordup] Before the Big Bang
		The universe has been around forever," said Paul Steinhardt, a Princeton University astrophysicist, who, with Neil Turok at Cambridge University, proposes a cyclic universe model in a paper published online Friday by the journal Science.
		Western astrophysicists in the 1930s put forth similar "oscillatory" models of the universe.
		The model described Friday recycles some old ideas and incorporates new concepts, including the notion of the universe having extra dimensions.

	The Dark Matter Mystery.
		In other important studies, astrophysicists have measured the mass of the gas in and around elliptical galaxies and have additionally measured the movement of galaxies in galactic clusters, detecting what they call the “velocity dispersion” or the spreading out of the velocities (directional speeds) of galaxies orbiting around the centers of the galactic clusters.
		Additionally, astrophysicists have measured the X-ray gas in the clusters of galaxies.
		It should be emphasized that cosmology is joining the list of experimental sciences by using many techniques, including astronomy, astrophysics, particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, low temperature physics, you-name-it physics, etc. The list continues to expand.

	Open Questions in Physics
		However, given the implications of particle physics and nonlinear dynamics on cosmology, and other connections between the groups, the division is somewhat artificial, so the classification here is somewhat arbitrary.
		A more detailed observation of a burst on March 3, 2003 convinced many astrophysicists that at least some gamma-ray bursters are so-called "hypernovae".
		A hypernova is an exceptionally large supernova formed by the nearly instantaneous collapse of the core of a very large star, at least 10 times the mass of the sun, which has already blown off most of its hydrogen.
