Galaxy : a collection of star systems
Solar System : the sun with the celestial bodies that revolve around it in its gravitational field
Photosphere : the intensely luminous surface of a star
Electromagnetic Spectrum : the entire frequency range of electromagnetic waves
Bing Bang Theory : a cosmological theory holding that the universe originated approximately 20 billion years ago from the violent explosion of a very small agglomeration of matter of extremely high density and temperature.
Nebula : an immense cloud of gas (mainly hydrogen) and dust in interstellar space
Protostar : Early form of a star; This stage lies between the collapsing of dust and gas and the beginning of nuclear fusion
Main Sequence : fusion begins in core; forces balanced; star stable
Red Giant : a large cool star
Red Supergiant : H runs out, fusion of heavier elements begins (to iron); unstable and dying
Super Nova : massive explosion of unstable high mass star
White Dwarf : a faint star of enormous density
Neutron Star : a star that has collapsed under its own gravity
Black Hole : gravitational field so intense light cannot escape; end of a very massive star
Universe : All of space and everything in it.
wavelength : The distance between crests of waves, such as those of the electromagnetic spectrum.
gamma ray : the high-energy photon emitted by a nucleus during fission and radioactive decay
x ray : electromagnetic radiation of short wavelength produced when high-speed electrons strike a solid target
red shift : If the source of light is moving away from the observer then the wavelength of the light is stretched out and would thus appear red.
blue shift : If the object is moving towards the observer, then the wavelength of the light is compressed and would thus appear blue.
