Is there such thing? I mean, there is Astrophysics so would studying celestial bodies at the subatomic level classify as Astrophysics, Quantum Physics or does it have some other division? ( I'm sorry if this question sounds stupid but I'm not in High school xD )
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
Sure there is such a thing. It would generally fall under the heading of astrophysics. There are sub-disciplines of astro, such as particle astrophysics or areas of high energy astrophysics (and many others) that study the cosmos at a sub-atomic level.
