  1. Chapter 21 power point • Stars,galaxies, and the universe.

  2. constellation • A pattern of stars in the sky.

  3. Visible light • Electromagnetic radiation that can be seen with the unaided eye.

  4. Electromagnetic radiation • Energy that travels through space in the form of waves.

  5. Wavelength • The horizontal distance between two wave crests.

  6. Spectrum • The range of wavelength of electromagnetic waves.

  7. Refracting telescope • A telescope that uses one or more mirrors to gather and focus light.

  8. Convex lens • A piece of transparent glass curved so that the middle is thicker than the edge

  9. Reflecting telescope • A telescope that uses one or more mirrors to gather light.

  10. Radio telescope • A device used to detect radio waves from objects in space.

  11. Observatory • A building that contains one or more telescopes.

  12. Spectrographs • An instrument that separates light into colors and photographs the resulting spectrum.

  13. Galaxy • A giant structure that contains hundreds of billions of stars.

  14. Universe • All of space and everything in it.

  15. Light-year • The distance that light travels in a year.

  16. Parallax • The apparent change in position of an object when seen from different places.

  17. Giant star • A very large star much larger than the sun.

  18. Apparent magnitude • The brightness of a star as seen from earth.

  19. Absolute magnitude • The brightness of a star as if it were a standard distance from earth.

  20. Hertzsprung-Russell diagram • A graph relating the temperature and brightness of a star.

  21. Main sequence • An area on the H-Rdiagram that runs from the upper left to the lower right and includes more than 90% of all stars.

  22. Pulsar • A neutron star that produces radio waves

  23. Nebula • A large amount of gas and dust in space spreaded out in an immense volume

  24. Protostar • A contracting cloud of gas and dust the earliest stage of a stars life.

  25. White Dwarf • The remaining hot core of a star after its outer layers have expanded and drifted out into space.

  26. Supernova • The explosion of a dying giant or supergiant star.

  27. Neutron Star A tiny star that remains after a supernova explosion.

  28. Black Hole • The remains of an extremely massive star pulled into a small volume by the force of gravity.

  29. Quasar • A distant galaxy with a black hole at its center.

  30. Binary Star • A star system that contains two stars.

  31. Eclipsing Binary • A star system in which one star periodically blocks light from another.

  32. Spiral Galaxy • A galaxy whose arms curve outward in a pinwheel pattern

  33. Elliptical Galaxy • A galaxy shaped like a flattened ball containing only old stars.

  34. Irregular Galaxy • A galaxy that does not have a regular shape.

  35. Big Bang • The initial explosion that resulted in the formation and expansion of the universe.

  36. Bibliography • The science book • And ->
