Astrophysicist
Scientific Focus
Astrophysicists specialize in the physics of the universe, unlike general astronomers who may focus on observation. 
Not Fictional
Astrophysicists are real scientists, not to be confused with fictional 'space explorers' often seen in movies. 
Research-Oriented
Astrophysicists typically conduct research and can work in universities, laboratories, or for space agencies.
