Universe : All existing matter and space considered as a whole.
Intergalactic : Relating to, moving, or situated between two or more galaxies
Comets : a celestial object consisting of a nucleus of ice and dust and, when near the sun, a ‘tail’ of gas and dust particles pointing away from the sun.
Magnitude : The great size or extent of something
Nebula : A cloud of gas and dust in outer space, visible in the night sky either as an indistinct bright patch or as a dark silhouette against other luminous matter.
Nucleosynthesis : The cosmic formation of atoms more complex than the hydrogen atom.
Pulsar: A highly magnetised, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation.

Stellar Parallax : A way in which Astronomers estimate the distance of nearby objects in space
Cosmology: The science of the origin and development of the universe
Extraterrestrial : Of or from outside the earth or its atmosphere
Cepheid : A variable star having a regular cycle of brightness with a frequency related to its luminosity, so allowing estimation of its distance from the earth.
Supernova : A star that suddenly increases greatly in brightness because of a catastrophic explosion that ejects most of its mass.
Hertzsprung : A graph of the absolute magnitudes or luminosities of stars plotted against their surface temperatures or colors, used to classify stars by their evolutionary stages
