Astrophysics Applications

 While astronomy is one of the oldest sciences, theoretical astrophysics began with Newton. Prior to Newton, astronomers described the motions of heavenly bodies using complex mathematical models without a physical basis. Newton showed that a single theory simultaneously explains the orbits of moons and planets in space and also the trajectory of a cannonball on Earth. This added to the body of evidence for the (then) startling conclusion that the heavens and Earth are subject to the same physical laws.Perhaps what most completely separated Newton's model from previous ones is that it's predictive similarly as descriptive. Based on aberrations in the orbit of Uranus, astronomers predicted the position of a new planet, which was then observed and named Neptune. Being predictive likewise as descriptive is that the sign of a mature science, and astrophysics is in this category.During the seventeenth century, regular thinkers, for example, Galileo, Descartes, and Newton started to keep up that the heavenly and earthly districts were made of comparative sorts of material and were dependent upon a similar characteristic laws. Their test was that the devices had not yet been developed with which to demonstrate these affirmations.For a significant part of the nineteenth century, cosmic exploration was centered around the normal work of estimating the positions and figuring the movements of galactic articles
