Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter
Gravitational lensing is the bending of light by massive objects, which can act as cosmic lenses, distorting and magnifying distant objects
A lunar eclipse happens when Earth comes directly between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to be cast on the moon's surface
A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an incredibly strong magnetic field, leading to extreme and dynamic behavior
A meteor shower is a celestial event where a large number of meteors appear to radiate from a single point in the sky
A neutron star is an incredibly dense and compact object that forms after a supernova explosion, composed almost entirely of neutrons
A planetary nebula is a shell of gas and dust expelled by a dying star, often forming beautiful and intricate structures
A solar flare is a sudden and intense burst of energy on the sun's surface, releasing a burst of X-rays, UV radiation, and charged particles
Solar prominences are large, bright features extending from the sun's surface into the corona, composed of hot plasma
A supernova is a massive explosion that occurs when a star reaches the end of its life cycle, releasing an immense amount of energy and visible light
The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model describing the universe's origin from an extremely hot and dense state
Cosmic dust consists of tiny solid particles found throughout the cosmos, contributing to the formation of celestial bodies
Cosmic inflation is a theory describing the rapid expansion of the universe in its first moments, explaining its large-scale structure
The cosmic microwave background is the afterglow of the Big Bang, a faint radiation filling the universe, providing insights into its early history
Cosmic neutrinos are high-energy neutrino particles originating from various astrophysical sources, such as supernovae and black holes
