Best books to learn Astrophysics, in order

Astrophysics spans enormous scales, so a good path climbs outward and inward at once. Start with a broad survey of stars, galaxies, and the cosmos to build the map, then go deep into stellar structure and the physics that powers stars, and reach cosmology and the early universe last, where the observations demand the physics you've already met to make sense.
