Across
- 3. A very large, bright, cool star that has run out of hydrogen at its core
- 5. Cloud of dust and gas occupying the space between stars; outer layers of a red giant after it runs out of fuel
- 8. The habitable zone around a star where the temperature is not too hot and not too cold
- 11. A region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape
- 12. A theoretical force responsible for accelerating the expansion of the universe
- 13. The distance that light travels in one year (about 10 trillion km)
- 15. A planet orbiting a star that is outside the solar system
- 17. The collapsed core of formerly massive stars
- 18. The most massive and luminous stars that burn much hotter and faster than smaller stars
- 20. The large explosion that scientists believe created the universe
Down
- 1. A small, dense, dim star that has lost its outer layers and is at the end of its lifetime
- 2. A group of stars as seen from Earth that appear to form a familiar shape
- 4. Stars that convert hydrogen into helium at their cores; where 90% of stars in the sky are
- 6. An independent groups of stars that are held together by gravity
- 7. A group into which stars are classified based on their spectra/colour
- 9. Matter that does not emit light and is responsible for unidentified gravity in the universe
- 10. The explosion of a massive star
- 14. A change in the frequency of sound or light waves emitted from an object when its moves towards or away from an observer
- 16. The distance between Earth and the sun
- 19. A point at which an infinitely dense matter occupies an infinitely small space
