  1. 1. Rays: High-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted by some neutron stars.
  2. 3. A rapidly spinning neutron star that emits beams of light.
  3. 4. Disk: A rotating disk of matter around a black hole or neutron star.
  4. 5. Star: A dense stellar remnant formed after a supernova.
  5. 7. The process of an object being stretched into thin strands near a black hole.
  6. 10. Hole: A region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape.
  7. 11. A type of neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field.
  8. 12. Horizon: The boundary around a black hole where escape becomes impossible.
  9. 13. The stretching of light to longer wavelengths near a massive object.
  10. 14. Binary: A system where a black hole or neutron star pulls material from a companion star.
Down
  1. 1. Waves: Ripples in spacetime caused by massive accelerating objects.
  2. 2. The explosion of a massive star at the end of its life cycle.
  3. 6. The point inside a black hole where density is infinite.
  4. 8. Radiation: Theoretical radiation predicted to be emitted by black holes.
  5. 9. Limit: The maximum mass of a white dwarf before it collapses into a neutron star or black hole.
