For a dad who has a passion for astrophysics, you have the perfect opportunity to find a meaningful and personalized Father's Day gift. Here are a few ideas that might be perfect for your dad:

1. A Telescope: Enhance your dad's stargazing experience by gifting him a high-quality telescope. It will allow him to observe celestial objects up close and delve deeper into his fascination with astrophysics.

2. Astrophysics Books: Since your dad is enthusiastic about astrophysics, why not gift him some books that explore the subject in detail? Consider titles like "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking or "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" by Neil deGrasse Tyson. These books will provide him with insights and new perspectives.

3. Virtual Planetarium: With the advancements in technology, there are virtual planetariums available that can be accessed through smartphones or virtual reality headsets. This will allow your dad to explore the wonders of the universe from the comfort of his own home.

4. Star Naming: Give your dad the unique and sentimental gift of naming a star after him. Many organizations offer star-naming services, complete with certificates and star charts, making it a thoughtful and memorable gift.

5. Astrophotography Equipment: If your dad enjoys photography as well, consider gifting him equipment specifically designed for astrophotography. This can include a camera with a suitable lens, a tripod, and any additional accessories he may need to capture stunning images of the night sky.

6. Tickets to an Astronomy Event: Explore if there are any local astronomy events, stargazing nights, or conferences taking place in your area. Secure tickets for your dad, so he can connect with other astrophysics enthusiasts and enhance his knowledge in a social setting.

7. Membership to an Astronomical Society: Consider getting your dad a membership to a local or national astronomy society. This will provide him with access to exclusive events, lectures, and discussions with other people who share his passion for astrophysics.

8. Customized Astrophysics Gift: If you want to add a personal touch, consider creating a customized gift related to astrophysics. This could be a custom-made piece of artwork or a puzzle featuring a stunning astronomical image or a famous equation from the field.

Remember, the most important aspect of the gift is the thoughtfulness behind it. Consider your dad's interests and preferences, and choose a gift that reflects his love for astrophysics. With any of these gifts, you are sure to make this Father's Day a memorable and special one for him.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he welcomed you in this world.
