QUESTIONS LIST:

  • frequency : the rate or number of crests of a wave that move past a given point in a given unit of time.
  • universe : all of time and space and its contents. includes, planets, moons, stars, galaxies, and asteroids.
  • black hole : a celestial object that has a gravitational field so strong that not even light can escape it, created by a supernova.
  • elliptical : a galaxy having an elliptical shape, three-dimensional with random orbits around its center.
  • star : a sphere made up of extremely hot gases. our sun is a medium size.
  • gamma rays : very short wavelength and very high energy.
