- 3. a tide just after the quarter moons when there's the least difference between high and low water
- 5. a galaxy shaped like a pinwheel, with a central nucleus and spiral arms extending outward
- 6. a large cloud of dust and gas where stars where gigantic explosion throws matter out into space
- 9. the spiral-shaped galaxy in which the Sun and earth's solar system are located on a spiral arm about 3/4th away from the center
- 10. chemical reaction where the nucleus of two atoms combine to form a new element
- 12. longest or shortest day of the year where the sun is shining more on one of Earth's hemisphere

- 4. the rise and fall of sea levels that usually occur twice daily changing every 6 hours, caused by the moon's gravity
- 7. The brightness of a star determined by the amount of EM energy a star emits
- 8. systems of dust,gas, stars and interstellar matter
- 11. end stage of supermassive stars where gigantic explosion throws matter out into space
- 14. force that pulls matter together forming stars or holding moons and planets in orbit around stars
