Frank and Isobel Hawking, Stephen's parents, were both well-educated. His dad was a research biologist and his mother was a medical research secretary.

He mostly did his work at the University of Cambridge, specifically at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.

He was known for being a genius, determined, and having a sense of humor.  Hewas married twice. To Jane Wilde in 1965 where they had 3 children and again in 1995 with Elaine Mason, one of his nurses, but they divorced in 2006

Astrophysics and Cosmology took shape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the work of scientists like Albert Einstein and Edwin Hubble. It explores the nature, origin, and evolution of the universe. It also delves into the study of celestial objects, such as stars, planets, galaxies, and black holes, as well as the fundamental forces and particles that govern the cosmos.

If you were to describe this scientific field to a 10-year-old,  Astrophysics and cosmology are like detective work for the universe. Scientists in this field study the stars, planets, and everything in the sky to understand how it all works. They try to figure out how the universe began, what it's made of, and how it's changing.

A Brief History of Time" (1988) is Hawking's most famous work, which is a popular science book that explores complex scientific concepts in a way accessible to the general public. He explores the fundamental questions of the universe, addressing topics such as the nature of time, the Big Bang theory, and the existence of black holes. His purpose in the story is to provide an easily understandable overview of complex cosmological concepts and theories, making them to make them accessible to a general audience.

His work was in Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology. He made significant contributions to our understanding of black holes, the nature of the universe, and the development of the theory of everything. His research primarily dealt with the behavior of matter, space, and time in the context of general relativity and quantum mechanics. He's known for his work on Hawking radiation, which proposed that black holes emit radiation and slowly evaporate. This challenged the traditional view that nothing could escape from a black hole. His later work also delved into the concept of the multiverse.
