  1. 2. a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, including light or other electromagnetic waves, has enough energy to escape it
  2. 7. is a dark or bright line in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum, resulting from an excess or deficiency of photons in a narrow frequency rang
  3. 8. the distance light travels in one year
  4. 11. vast space between filaments, which contain very few or no galaxies.
