Space and Planets

1. A luminous celestial body consisting of hot gases, such as hydrogen and helium.
4. A planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system, potentially capable of supporting life.
5. A powerful explosion that occurs at the end of a star's life cycle, releasing a tremendous amount of energy.
6. A celestial object composed of ice, dust, and gas that orbits the Sun, often displaying a bright coma and a tail.
7. A vast collection of stars, dust, and gas bound together by gravity.
9. Hole A region of space with extremely strong gravitational forces, from which nothing, not even light, can escape.
12. A vehicle designed for travel or operation in outer space.
14. A facility or device that projects images of stars and planets onto a dome-shaped ceiling, simulating the night sky.
15. Station A large spacecraft where astronauts live and work, serving as a base for scientific research and space exploration.
16. An instrument used to observe distant objects in space by collecting and focusing electromagnetic radiation.
17. A vast cloud of gas and dust in space, often the birthplace of stars.

1. The star at the center of our solar system, providing light and heat to the planets.
2. A person trained to travel and work in space, typically aboard a spacecraft.
3. The natural satellite of the Earth, reflecting sunlight and appearing as a bright object in the night sky.
8. A rocky object that orbits the Sun, typically found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
10. A group of stars forming a recognizable pattern or shape, often named after mythological characters or objects.
11. An object that orbits a larger celestial body, such as a planet or moon, serving various purposes like communication or scientific observation.
13. A small celestial body that enters the Earth's atmosphere, producing a streak of light as it burns up due to friction.
