StarsStars are the celestial bodies having their own heat and light, which they emit in large amounts. Example: The Sun is a Star.
(2) U Geminorum star, any of a class of irregular variable stars that display sudden increases in brightness so great that they are sometimes called dwarf novae. Some have been observed to brighten by as much as 5 magnitudes (100 times) in a period of hours.
(3) Most asteroids are made of rock, but some are made of metals such as nickel and iron. ... Because of their size, asteroids are sometimes called minor planets or planetoids. Some asteroids even have moons that orbit them. Most asteroids orbit the Sun in a region between Mars and Jupiter -- the Asteroid Belt
(4) The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona. This plasma mostly consists of electrons, protons and alpha particles with kinetic energy between 0.5 and 10 keV. The composition of the solar wind plasma also includes a mixture of materials found in the solar plasma: trace amounts of heavy ions and atomic nuclei C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, and Fe. There are also rarer traces of some other nuclei and isotopes such as P, Ti, Cr, Ni, Fe 54 and 56, and Ni 58,60,62.[2] Embedded within the solar-wind plasma is the interplanetary magnetic field.[3] The solar wind varies in density, temperature and speed over time and over solar latitude and longitude. Its particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high energy resulting from the high temperature of the corona, which in turn is a result of the coronal magnetic field.
(5) A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems, all held together by gravity. ... It's a small part of the Milky Way Galaxy. A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems. A galaxy is held together by gravity.
(6) Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the Sun's photosphere that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas. ... Sunspots expand and contract as they move across the surface of the Sun, with diameters ranging from 16 km (10 mi) to 160,000 km (100,000 mi).
(7) Saturn
(8) Venus
(9) A nebula is an enormous cloud of dust and gas occupying the space between stars and acting as a nursery for new stars. The roots of the word come from Latin nebula, which means a “mist, vapor, fog, smoke, exhalation.” Nebulae are made up of dust, basic elements such as hydrogen and other ionized gases.
(10) Uranus
(11) Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9
(12) Earth is surrounded by a magnetosphere. ... The curved lines are further shaped by the electrically charged particles of the solar wind into a teardrop shape called the magnetosphere.
