  2. 4. the scientific study of everything outside Earth's atmosphere
  3. 5. an American astronomer who proved the existence of other galaxies and discovered that the universe is constantly expanding
  4. 10. an artist who transcends convention by weaving performance, visual art, and design into immersive tapestries of image and sound.
  5. 13. the faint echo of thermal energy left over from the Big Bang
  6. 16. a massive, gravitationally bound system consisting of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter
  7. 17. a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and inert noble gas

  1. 1. Nobel Prize-winning radio astronomer who discovered the Cosmic Microwave Background
  2. 3. British astronomer and mathematician famous for establishing the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis—proving that heavy elements are created inside stars
  3. 6. the entire range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation
  4. 7. all space, time, matter, and energy that exists
  5. 8. the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that is detectable by the human eye
  6. 9. the prevailing cosmological model explaining the origin and evolution of the universe
