LARGE BODY ORBITING THE SUN OR OTHER STAR

A STAR, SUCH AS THE SUN, AND ALL THE OBJECTS ORBITING IT

A ROCKY, METALLIC OBJECT THAT ORBITS THE SUN

A BALL OF ICE AND ROCK THAT ORBITS THE SUN

SMALL, ROCKY OBJECTS THAT ORBIT THE SUN

A METEOROID THAT ENTERS EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE AND BURNS

A LARGE, HOT BALL OF GASES

A NUMBER OF STARS THAT APPEARS TO FORM A PATTERN

THE BRIGHTNESS OF A STAR

THE APPARENT SHIFT IN AN OBJECT'S LOCATION

THE DISTANCE LIGHT TRAVELS IN A YEAR

AN ENORMOUS CLOUD OF GAS AND DUST IN SPACE

A STAR THAT EXPLODES

AN OBJECT WHOSE GRAVITY IS SO STRONG THAT LIGHT CANNOT ESCAPE IT

A LARGE GROUP OF STARS THAT ARE HELD TOGETHER BY GRAVITY

THE MEDIUM-SIZED SPIRAL GALAXY THAT IS OUR HOME GALAXY
