Welcome to Astrophysics with Python — a collection of projects that combine Python programming with the fascinating world of space and physics. Each project explores a different astrophysics concept through code, simulation, or data analysis.

As a student passionate about astrophysics and Python, I'm building this repository to:

• Practice solving real physics problems with code
• Learn scientific concepts by simulating them
• Build a portfolio to share with teachers, mentors, and (someday) colleges like MIT

Status: Done
Simulates a planet orbiting a star using Newton's law of universal gravitation. Visualizes the orbit path using matplotlib.

🔧 Update: support for multiple planets and variable initial speeds!

Status: Done
Simulates a probe performing a Hohmann Transfer using the Vis-Viva equation. Graphs show "Speed vs. Time" and other relations. Visualizes and calculates the orbit path and graphs using matplotlib and numpy. This project was for Jugend-Forscht.

More projects to come soon:

• Light curve analyzer (exoplanet detection)
• AI galaxy classifier
• Gravitational lensing visualizer
• N-body simulation

• Python 3
• numpy for math
• matplotlib for visualization
• Possibly pygame or scikit-learn for advanced projects

• Understand core astrophysics ideas by building them
• Get better at Python and scientific computing
• Have fun exploring the universe from my computer

If you're a student, mentor, or space nerd who wants to connect — feel free to reach out or follow my progress!
