Stellar Evolution and the Universe
Across
- 3. When the core runs out of hydrogen and the star expands and turns red.
- 4. Two words, 90% of the stars on the H-R diagram, colored blue, yellow, red and are stable.
- 8. Two words, no particular shape and are thought to contain newer stars.
- 10. Space and all the mater in it.
- 11. Clouds of gas & dust that contracts to form new stars.
- 13. Two words, the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
- 14. Two words, new stars form near the arms.
- 15. Two words, occur when a sun-like star stops core fusion, ejects its outer layers into space and shrinks to an Earth-sized object.
Down
- 1. Two words, the distance light travels through space in one year.
- 2. Two words, look like spheres or ovals and are thought to contain older stars.
- 5. Two words, super-dense cores of large collapsed stars.
- 6. Large collections of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity.
- 7. Two words, end result of very massive stars imploding, where gravity falls inwards forever creating a hole in space-time.
- 9. When fusion stops and a supergiant star implodes under its own gravity, then explodes.
- 12. Galaxies held together in groups by gravity.
