Across
- 6. A system with two opposite charges or poles separated by distance
- 9. The apparent shift in an object's position when viewed from different places
- 11. The leftover microwave radiation from the early universe
- 13. A telescope in orbit around Earth that observes distant space objects
- 14. The average density needed for the universe to be flat
- 16. A region in space where gravity is so strong that light cannot escape
- 18. The dimension used to describe change and the order of events
- 19. The overall geometry of the universe, such as flat, open, or closed
- 21. A measure of the average kinetic energy of particles
- 22. Matter made of particles with opposite charges to normal matter
- 23. The distance light travels in one year
Down
- 1. The process where small atomic nuclei combine and release energy
- 2. The model that the universe began hot, dense, and has been expanding
- 3. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed
- 4. A point where density and gravity become extreme and normal physics breaks down
- 5. The stretching of light to longer wavelengths, usually from objects moving away
- 7. Invisible matter that does not emit light but has gravitational effects
- 8. The SI unit of temperature based on absolute zero
- 10. A change in wavelength caused by motion of the source or observer
- 12. Bright or dark lines in a spectrum that reveal the presence of elements
- 15. A device used to measure the brightness of light
- 16. The compression of light to shorter wavelengths, usually from objects moving closer
- 17. Huge regions of space containing very few galaxies
- 20. The period in the universe when matter dominated over radiation
