The Life of Stars
Across
- 4. elements oxygen, nitrogen, and _____ are formed in massive stars when carbon atoms get pulled due to temperature increase
- 6. throughout this phase, hydrogen in outer parts carries on burning and center gets hotter and hotter
- 10. the result when star more massive than the sun remains massive after supernova and has no nuclear fusion supporting the core and collapse by its own gravity
- 12. coined the word 'black hole'
- 14. occurs in the center of the cloud and begins to glow brightly once temperature reaches 15,000,000°C
- 15. estimated number of stars in the universe
- 17. how a star will react in the red giant phases should depend on ____
- 19. a cold, dark star produced when white dwarf has been exhausted after it will no longer emit light
- 21. as stars glow during nuclear fusion, hydrogen changes to ____
- 22. it drags the gas in nebula together
- 23. it is what becomes when massive star's core, which is 1.5 to 4 times massive as the sun, remains after becoming a supernova
- 24. this make a nebula have a stronger gravitational pull
- 25. the first black hole discovered
- 26. a huge explosion which contains tremendous amount of energy and can have a temperature up to 1,000,000°C
Down
- 1. a kind of star which rises from nuclear fusion once it stabilizes at 15,000,000°C and contracts slightly
- 2. when such star collapse, planetary nebula is created and can be used as building material for planets in developing solar systems
- 3. what is called when neutron star starts to spin often emits radio waver and occur in pulses
- 5. it is where a star is born
- 7. a ring around the core of the star formed from the remains of exploded hydrogen
- 8. it is formed when helium fuse upon reaching 200,000°C
- 9. the kind of star which dies once final helium atoms fused into carbon atoms
- 11. the kind of star produced from dead medium-sized stars wherein gravitational pull leads to the loss of the star's matter collapsing inwards and compacting to become extremely dense
- 13. the element which constitutes mostly on the outer parts of the star
- 16. type and _____ influenced how each star is formed
- 18. the color which glow when stars' outer parts expand and cool
- 20. black holes were known before ad ______
