* Exosphere: The outermost layer of a planet's atmosphere.
* Extragalactic: Relating to or originating outside of the Milky Way galaxy.
F
* Flare: A sudden, intense burst of energy from the Sun's surface.
* Galaxy: A large collection of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter bound together by gravity.
* Gamma Ray Burst: The most powerful explosion in the universe, often associated with the collapse of massive stars.
G
* Globular Cluster: A spherical collection of stars, tightly bound together by gravity.
* Gravity: The force of attraction between any two objects with mass.

* Jupiter: The largest planet in our solar system.
K
* Kuiper Belt: A region of icy bodies beyond Neptune.
L
* Light Year: The distance that light travels in one year.
* Lunar Eclipse: An event where the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.
M
* Meteor: A small piece of space debris that burns up in the Earth's atmosphere.
* Meteorite: A piece of space debris that survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere and falls to the ground.
* Milky Way: The galaxy that our solar system belongs to.
* Moon: A natural satellite that orbits a planet.
N
* Nebula: A cloud of gas and dust in space.
* Neutron Star: A very dense, collapsed core of a massive star.
O
* Orbit: The path that a celestial body takes around another object.
P
* Planet: A celestial body that orbits a star and is large enough to have cleared its neighborhood of other objects.
* Pluto: A dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt.
* Pulsar: A rapidly rotating neutron star that emits beams of radiation.
Q
* Quasar: A very luminous and distant active galactic nucleus.
R
* Red Giant: A star in the late stage of its life, having expanded and cooled.
* Rocket: A vehicle that uses a combustion engine to produce thrust.
S
* Satellite: An object that orbits another object in space.
* Solar Eclipse: An event where the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth.

* Star: A giant ball of hot gas that produces its own light and heat.
* Supernova: A powerful explosion that occurs at the end of a star's life.
T
* Telescope: A device that uses lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light, allowing us to see distant objects.
* Titan: The largest moon of Saturn.
U
* Universe: All of space and time, and everything in it.
V
* Venus: The second planet from the Sun.
W
* White Dwarf: A dense, hot remnant of a star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel.
