The Difference Between Astronomy, Astrophysics, and Cosmology

What is the difference between Astronomy, Astrophysics, and Cosmology?

In short, astronomy focuses on observing, astrophysics focuses on the physics and behavior of celestial objects like stars, galaxies, and planets. Cosmologist wonder how the universe began and how it will die.

I am not into observing how old is the universe, planets or stars but I am into learning the knowledge of black holes and whether worm hole and white hole exists. Which one do you think fits me most?

I am not sure where to go to school yet or for which degree. Any recommendations of schools to check out and for what degree?

Hey Tony, I am still in school and I really want to pursue cosmology in the future but I don't really know what to do. So if you have any advice it would be really helpful.
