- 6. A massive, distant incandescent entity like the sun that is a fixed point of light in the night sky.
- 7. A celestial body that orbits a star in an elliptical pattern.
- 10. Object that generates periodic pulses of radio waves and other electromagnetic radiation at speeds of up to a thousand pulses per second
- 11. made up of particles that do not absorb, reflect, or emit light
- 12. The universe's fast expansion of matter from a condition of extraordinarily high-density
- 14. Any planet outside of our solar system is an?
- 17. A celestial body with an ice and dust core and, when it is close to the sun
- 20. what is the Moon to us
- 22. A star that increases in brightness dramatically and then gradually dims over the course of several months.
- 23. An enormous astronomical object that is really far away, emits a tremendous quantity of energy, and often appears as a star in a telescope.
- 24. The earth's natural satellite, which may be seen by reflecting sunlight at night.
Down
- 1. A tiny, very dense star, usually the size of a planet. When a low-mass star has used up all of its nuclear fuel in the centre and lost its outer layers as a planetary nebula, a white dwarf is created.
- 2. Tiny planetary-mass object that orbits the Sun directly
- 3. A tiny, stony object is circling the sun.
- 4. A cluster of stars that has a recognised pattern and is often called after it or associated with a legendary character.
- 5. A star that unexpectedly becomes much brighter due to a cataclysmic explosion that expels the majority of its mass.
- 8. A big, relatively low-density planet like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune mostly made of hydrogen and helium.
- 9. A tiny space object that penetrates the atmosphere of the planet and ignites due to friction, giving the appearance of a light streak.
- 13. A region of space where the gravitational force is so strong that nothing can escape.
- 15. A wide band of light visible in the night sky that results from the illumination of a great number of dim stars
- 16. A cloud of gas and dust in space that may be seen in the night sky as a dimly lit patch or as a black shadow next to other light objects.
- 18. A material composed of antiparticles.
- 19. A system of gas and dust, together with millions or billions of stars, kept together by gravitational pull.
- 21. Contains 8 Planets
