Galactic studies is a field of astronomical research that focuses on the study of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe. Scientists in this field investigate the formation, evolution, and properties of galaxies, as well as their interactions with each other and with the surrounding intergalactic medium. Galactic studies also encompass the study of black holes, dark matter, and other astrophysical phenomena within galaxies. Researchers in this field use a variety of observational techniques, including telescopes, spectroscopy, and computer simulations, to explore the mysteries of the cosmos on a galactic scale.
