  1. 1. A person who travels and works in space. Astronauts undergo extensive training to be able to live and work in microgravity conditions.
  2. 2. An object that orbits around a planet or a star. Satellites are used for communication, weather observation, navigation, and scientific research.
  3. 3. A celestial object made up of ice, dust, and gas that orbits the Sun. When a comet gets close to the Sun, it develops a glowing coma and a tail.
  4. 5. A cloud of gas and dust in space. Nebulas are often the birthplaces of stars and can have beautiful, colorful shapes and patterns.
  5. 6. A large celestial body that orbits around a star. Planets are round and do not produce their own light but reflect the light of the star they orbit.
  6. 8. A small rock or particle in space. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it is called a meteor.
  7. 11. A massive collection of stars, dust, and gas held together by gravity. Galaxies can be spiral, elliptical, or irregular in shape.
