Nuclear Astrophysics is a combination of nuclear physics and astrophysics. Nuclear physics is the study of atomic nuclei, their composition and their interactions, while astrophysics aims at studying galactic objects such as stars and galaxies. Nuclear astrophysics delves into the questions of where and when the elements were created and how nuclear reactions drive cosmic events.
