Uma breve história da astrofísica

Abstract

The objective of this work is to briefly report the history of astrophysics in a didactic and accessible way for any reader. At times, equations appear, but the focus of the work is on the historical part, going through the main events of this science over the centuries and seeking to know a little more about the history of the scientists who made contributions to the area. The work seeks to present directly on the development of celestial body mechanics, spectroscopy, some tools used in the cataloging of stars, the chemical composition of stars and celestial bodies, also showing a little of the difference between theory and experimentation in Physics, briefly show the evolution of space observation devices such as telescopes and radio telescopes, in addition to raising some questions about what is to come in the near future or not.
