Overview
Astrophysics is the study of the universe beyond Earth. The laws of physics, as they are known from laboratory experiments, are applied to stars, interstellar gas, galaxies, and space itself in an attempt to understand the detailed physical states of these entities. Astrophysics at Michigan State University frequently involves a study of matter under extreme conditions that cannot be duplicated in the laboratory.
