Can a computer science student become an astrophysicist?
Yes you can do so.
Can a computer scientist become an astrophysicist?
Yes. You will have to take the requisite courses. One of my high-school friends who ended up doing Computer Engineering as his undergraduate, decided that he wanted to be an astrophysicist. While he was working full-time in software development, he took the requisite courses on a part-time basis.
Is physics required for CS majors?
First and foremost, don't worry, computer engineering and computer science are not focused on calculus or physics, but instead on logic and, in some areas, probability and statistics. Most CS/CE major require calculus but not as a pre-requisite, so you can just take the class in college.
