Across
- 1. The Galaxy in that the earth is located in
- 3. All the celestial objects that orbit the Sun.
- 6. a type of galaxy characterized by its smooth, ellipsoidal or spherical shape, containing mostly old stars and lacking significant gas and dust, with little to no ongoing star formation.
- 7. an expert in or student of astronomy.
- 8. the boundless, three-dimensional expanse beyond Earth's atmosphere, encompassing celestial bodies like planets, stars, and galaxies, and the vast, nearly empty regions between them.
- 9. A system of millions or billions of stars, together with gas and dust, held together by gravitational attraction.
Down
- 2. a type of galaxy that lacks a distinct, regular shape, unlike spiral or elliptical galaxies, and often exhibits chaotic structures and a high content of gas and dust, leading to active star formation.
- 4. The star closest to the earth
- 5. a type of galaxy characterized by a flattened, rotating disk with a central bulge and prominent spiral arms, often containing large amounts of gas, dust, and stars, including both young and old ones.
- 8. self-luminous, gaseous, spheroidal celestial body of great mass that produces energy through nuclear fusion reactions, primarily fusing hydrogen into helium.
