Summary

I am a committed student of physics with a focus on astronomy and optics, exploring the mysteries of the cosmos. I am driven by my admiration of physics to comprehend the basic principles of light, how it behaves when it passes through lenses and mirrors, and how it is used in cutting-edge technologies. I admire celestial bodies, how they move, and the laws underlying them fascinating as I explore the cosmos through the lens of astronomy. I have a never-ending thirst for knowledge and a keen curiosity for details, and I am always trying to use physics to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos.
