Across
- 3. Extremely energetic explosion observed in distant galaxies, often from collapsing stars.
- 4. Study of life in the universe, including the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
- 6. Hypothetical tunnel connecting distant parts of space-time.
- 8. A planet that orbits a star outside our solar system.
- 9. Stellar remnant left after a low or medium mass star expels its outer layers.
- 11. Opposite form of matter with reversed charge; annihilates on contact with regular matter.
- 12. Sudden burst of radiation and particles from the Sun’s surface.
- 15. A type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field.
- 16. Extremely bright and distant active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole.
- 17. A point in space-time where density becomes infinite, such as at the center of a black hole.
- 18. Referring to the space between stars.
- 20. Boundary around a black hole beyond which nothing can escape.
Down
- 1. Theoretical stretching of objects into thin shapes by extreme gravitational forces near a black hole.
- 2. Scientific study of the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe.
- 5. Hypothetical collection of multiple or infinite universes including our own.
- 7. Dense remnant of a massive star composed almost entirely of neutrons.
- 10. Bending of light around massive objects, used to detect dark matter and distant galaxies.
