Astrophysics. Period. A field of science thought to have been immensely popularised ever since the birth of Galileo Galilei. In fact, it flourished hundreds of years ago, dating back to the impeccable Mayans and intelligent Egyptians. Chinese astronomers have been found out to have made observations about the sky and made their own sky maps years ago. The sailors – every captain excelled at observational astronomy.

Advent of the optical telescopes changed astronomy in a truly revolutionary way. It simply wasn’t the same as what it was before. The discovery of other planets moving around our Sun and then the moons, expanded the field. There was a fast paced development of telescopes of all kinds – optical, radio, inframetrey, and  of course Ultraviolet. With this came supercomputers, allowing astronomers and physicists to simulate and observe the universe like never before.

Every person must have been fascinated by the multicolored glow of the nebulae and the super sassy look of the galaxies. A person with geniune interest, would have spent a little time on what causes these phenomena. And of course, super experts would be able to explain these with sheer beauty and intricacy. Here at 1 Touch Astrophysics, you are welcomed to join the amateur community of astrophysicists-to-be. Every single reader is welcome to share his/her opinions and views about space, physics and math. Anything about the vast Cosmos is welcome.
