Down
  1. 1. moon the phase of the moon when we see the moon half illuminated

  11. 20. a large mass that forms by contraction out of the gas of a giant molecular cloud in the interstellar medium
  12. 21. a white dwarf that is cooled down to the temperature of the cosmic background and so it is invisible

  14. 24. fully shaded inner region of a shadow cast by an opaque object
  15. 25. an overshadowing of earth the occurs when the moon is between the sun and the earth and the moon blocks the suns light.
