angle The space (usually measured in degrees) between two lines or surfaces intersecting at the meeting or almost.

Astronomy Scientific field dealing with celestial objects, space and the physical universe. People working in this field call astronomers .

data Facts and / or statistics are collected for badysis but not necessarily organized to make sense of them. For numeric information (type stored by computers), these data are usually numbers stored in a binary code, represented by strings of zeros and units.

engineer A person who uses science to solve problems. As a verb, engineering means designing a device, material or process that will solve a problem or an unmet need.

exoplanet In short, extrasolar planet is a planet orbiting our solar system. [19659005] galaxy A mbadive group of stars linked by gravity. The galaxies, which each comprise between 10 and 100 trillion stars, also include gas clouds, dust, and the remains of stars exploded.

Jupiter (in astronomy) The largest planet in the solar system, it has the shortest day (10 hours). Gas giant, its low density indicates that this planet is composed of light elements, such as hydrogen and helium. This planet also releases more heat than it receives from the sun when gravity compresses its mbad (and slowly shrinks the planet).

Kepler Space Telescope A NASA mission to search for exoplanets – planets beyond the solar system – especially planets that could be similar to Earth. The development of the mission began in 2002, placing the first orders for the necessary instruments that would be used. The mission was named in honor of Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), the first person to describe the movements of planets around the sun so that their positions can be accurately predicted. The spacecraft carrying the Kepler telescope took off on March 6, 2009 at 22:49. from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida. He was declared dead on October 30, 2018 after a fuel outage. Before his death, the telescope identified more than 2,700 exoplanets.

Milky Way The galaxy in which the terrestrial solar system resides. Established in 1958, this American agency has become a leader in space research and stimulating public interest in space exploration. It is by NASA that the United States sent people in orbit and finally on the moon. He also sent research engines to study the planets and other celestial objects of our solar system.

Orbit Curved drawing of a celestial object or a spacecraft around a star, planet or moon. A complete circuit around a celestial body.

planet A celestial object orbiting a star is large enough that gravity crushed it into a rounded ball and cleared other objects in its orbital neighborhood. To accomplish the third feat, the object must be large enough to have attracted nearby objects into the planet itself or to have them thrown around the planet and into space.

pressure Force uniformly applied to a surface, measured as a force per unit area.

RIP Abbreviation of "rest in peace", as is often said about a dead person.

satellite A moon orbiting a planet, a vehicle or other manufactured object revolving around a celestial body in outer space.

Solar System The eight main planets and their moons orbiting our sun, as well as smaller bodies in the form of dwarf planets, asteroids, meteorites, and comets.

manufactured. Stars develop when the compact gravity of gas clouds. When they become dense enough to sustain nuclear fusion reactions, stars emit light and sometimes other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The sun is our closest star.
