Down
- 1. All space and matter space contains
- 2. The luminous celestial body around which the Earth and other planets revolve

- 10. How fast light travels 300,000km
- 12. A representation of an object that is accurate in its proportions to the actual object
- 16. A unit of length equal to the distance that light travels through space in 1year
- 17. An instrument that collects light or other electromagnetic
- 18. Bands of that appear as dark ribbons against the bright stars in the galaxy
