Across
- 3. What is the bright band of hydrogen gas in a fisheye lens picture of the night sky?
- 6. A region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum where wavelengths range from 700nm to 1mm.
- 8. What is the element that makes up most of the universe and is the fuel for stars?
- 9. the location where 200-250 large dishes will be built.
- 11. What are the disturbances in the curvature (fabric) of spacetime called?
- 14. A time when the first starts lights up a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, casting an end to the Dark ages.
- 15. An important factor in the shaping of our galaxy, where magnetism is ubiquitous in the universe.
- 16. A hypothetical matter that is thought to account for most matters in the universe.
- 19. A control building made up of metal skins that protects the computers from telescope radiations.
- 20. a theoretical repulsive force that counteracts gravity and causes the universe to expand at an accelerating rate.
Down
- 1. The world's largest radio telescope
- 2. A type of array formed when a large number of small, fixed antenna elements coupled to appropriate receiver systems.
- 4. The physicist describes gravity as a geometric property of space and time.
- 5. A transient astronomical event when a massive star or a white dwarf explodes, causing a sudden appearance of a "new" bright star.
- 7. a high-speed data transmission medium. Digital data is transmitted through the cable through rapid pulses of light.
- 10. An astronomical instrument that consists of a radio receiver and an antenna system that is used to detect radio-frequency radiation emitted by extraterrestrial sources.
- 12. A rapidly spinning neutron star that is highly magnetized.
- 13. What is the name of the agency that designed and engineered Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP)?
- 17. an object that turn radio waves into electricity, then transformed into light
- 18. A branch of astronomy that involves the origin and the evolution of universe
