  1. 3. Interstellar refers to the space between stars. It represents the vast distances and possibilities for exploration and discovery beyond our solar system.
  2. 6. The universe is the vast expanse that contains all matter, energy, planets, stars, galaxies, and everything in existence. It is constantly expanding and full of mysteries.
  3. 7. A comet is a celestial object made of ice, dust, and gas. As it orbits the sun, it develops a glowing coma and sometimes a tail, creating a beautiful spectacle in the night sky.
  4. 8. hole A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape its pull. It is formed from the remnants of massive collapsed stars.
  5. 10. A galaxy is a vast system of stars, planets, gas, and dust held together by gravity. It can contain billions of stars and is often shaped like a spiral or an elliptical.
  6. 11. A satellite is an object that orbits a planet, moon, or other celestial body. It can be natural, like a moon, or artificial, like a spacecraft sent from Earth.
  7. 13. A telescope is an instrument used to observe distant objects in space. It collects and magnifies light, allowing astronomers to study stars, planets, and galaxies.
  8. 14. A supernova is a powerful and explosive event that occurs at the end of a massive star's life. It releases a tremendous amount of energy and can briefly outshine entire galaxies.

  1. 1. A star is a luminous ball of gas that emits light and heat. It is held together by its own gravity and produces energy through nuclear fusion.
  2. 2. A meteor is a small celestial body that enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up, producing a streak of light in the sky. It is also known as a shooting star.
  3. 4. A spacecraft is a vehicle designed for travel or operation in outer space. It can be manned or unmanned and is used for exploration, research, and communication.
  4. 5. A planet is a large celestial body that orbits a star. It is round and has cleared its orbit of other debris. Our solar system has eight planets, including Earth.
  5. 9. An asteroid is a rocky object that orbits the sun. It is smaller than a planet and larger than a meteoroid. Asteroids can be found throughout the solar system.
  6. 10. Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other. It keeps planets in orbit around stars, moons around planets, and plays a crucial role in shaping the structure of the universe.
  7. 11. system A solar system is a collection of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other celestial objects that orbit around a star, such as our Sun.
  8. 12. A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in space. It often appears as a colorful and ethereal formation, where stars are born and new worlds are formed.
