ASSIGNMENT

1. Phenomena - An observable fact or event.

2. Haloes - A circle of light appearing to surround the sun or moon and resulting in refraction or
reflection of light.
3. Reflection - The throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat or sound without absorbing it.
4. Concave - Having an outline or surface that curves inward like the interior of a circle.
5. Convex - Having an outline or surface that curves outward like the exterior of a circle
6. Dispersed - Distribute or spread over a wide area.
7. Inverted - Placed upside down or in the opposite position, order or arrangement from usual.
8. Mirage - An optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions.
9. Absorption - The process of absorbing or assimilating any substance.
10. Refraction - Bending of light as it passes from one transparent substance into another.
11. Illuminated - Lit with bright lights.
12. Transmits - To pass from one place to another.
13. Sundogs - Are rainbow-colored splashes on the left and the right of the sun.
14. Complex - Consisting of many different and connected parts.
15. Sphere - A round or solid figure, with every point on the surface is equidistant to the center.
16. Supernumerary - Excess in normal number.
17. Scattering - A change in the direction of motion of a particle because of a collision with another
particle.
18. Mie Scattering - Occurs when the particles are of the same size or larger than the wavelength of
light being scattered
19. Penetrate - Succeed in forcing a way into or through something.
20. Radio Waves - A type of electromagnetic waves.
21. Apparatus - An equipment or machinery needed for a particular activity or purpose.
22. Oscillate - To move or swing back and forth at a regular speed.
23. Vacuum - A space entirely devoid of matter.
24. Newtonian Mechanics - Newtonian mechanics are mainly based  on ideas of Newton about a
motion which correctly describes the state of motion of an  object.
25. Postulates - Suggestion or assume the existence of something.
26. Black Holes - A region in space that have a strong gravitational field so intense that no matter or
radiation can escape.
27. Bending - To shape or form something into curve or angle.
28. Contraction - The process of becoming smaller.
29. Time Dilation - The slowing of time as perceived by one observer compared with another,
depending on their relative motion or positions in a gravitational field.
30. Relativistic - Accurately described only by the theory of relativity.
31. Joules - Basic unit of energy or work.
32. Projectile - Any object that continues in motion by it’s own inertia and is influenced by the
downward force of gravity.
33. Magnetism - A physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in
attractive and repulsive forces between objects.
34. Physicists - An expert or student that studies the physics.
35. Cosmic Speed - The speed limit of the universe.
36. Shifting - To take a new direction
37. Ellipse - A regular oval shape.
38. Perihelion - Point in  that orbit that is closest to the Sun
39. Precession - Point of closest  approach of Mercury to the sun does not always occur at the same
place but that it slowly  moves around the sun.
40. Gravitational Lensing - The curvature of spacetime means that the path of light is deflected
around massive  objects.
41. Spuasar - The deflection of radio waves emitted by the distant galaxies.
42. Spectrum - a band of colors, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of
light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength.
43. Luminous - full of or shedding light; bright or shining, especially in the dark.
44. Doppler Effect - Occurs when an object moving away or toward Earth emits light. 
45. Proportional - Corresponding in size or amount to something else.
46. Static - Lacking in movement, action, or change, especially in a way viewed
as undesirable or uninteresting.
47. Expanding - To become larger or bigger.
48 . Supernova - A star that suddenly increases greatly in brightness because of explosion that ejects
most of it’s mass.
49. Spectroscopy - Branch of science concerned with the investigation and measurement of spectra
produced when matter interacts with or emits radiation.
50. Parallax - Displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two
different lines
51. Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram - Graph that shows a star’s luminosity versus its temperature.
52. Astronomer - An expert or student of astronomy.
53. Cluster - A group of similar objects that is located closely to each other.
54. Astronomy - The branch of science that deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical
universe as a whole.
55. .Hubble’s Law - The distance d of the object from Earth and its speed v away from  the Earth.
56. Galaxy - A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar
systems, all held together by gravity.
57. Big Bang Theory - It is the idea that the universe began as just a single point, then expanded and
stretched to grow as large as it is right now
58. Wave - A wave is a disturbance that moves energy from one place to another.
59. Radiation - The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles,
especially high-energy particles which cause ionization.
60. Matter - A substance made up of various types of particles that occupies physical space and has
inertia.
