The book delves into the development of astrophysics, highlighting its unique reliance on astronomical measurements rather than experimental data typical of other physics branches. It outlines key elements of star physics, including a theoretical framework for hot star interiors and the relationships between mass, radius, temperature, and luminosity. Additionally, it explores the apsidal rotation of binary stars and solar oscillation spectra, demonstrating that theoretical predictions align well with existing measurement data, thus affirming the theory's validity.
