Start with what you want to study in astrophysics. If you're focused on cosmology and the universe's large-scale structure, look for courses covering dark matter, cosmic microwave background, and galaxy formation. If you want to use Python for astrophysical data analysis, choose courses that include practical coding exercises, data visualization, and analysis of astronomical datasets.
