Hello,

First of all i would like to state that i'm not educated in astronomy
in any way so this question is not an "intelligent" one. I'm thinking
of studying astronomy or astrophysics in a german university (i've
found a top one), but i've been struggling to find out which one is
the proper.

I've looked at several articles from answers.google.com (which
unfortunatly is closed) to wikipedia but i don't get one thing, so i
ask the professionals.
1. If i decide to study astrophysics, i'll have to choose physics or
is there different faculty for astrophysics?
2. If i decide astronomy, is astrophysics included in the studies?
3. Which one is more advanced, better and important?
4. Some sites state that astronomy is looking in the sky and drawing
lines of planets and stars, which reminds me of the nasty astrology
and that astrophysics deals with physics of the universe. Is that
true?

Thanks in advance.

ps: i know im asking in an astronomy group but i hope you will be
democratic .
