There are billions of galaxies in the universe.
We live in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Our galaxy consists of
planets
moon
stars
sun

Flying throughout our galaxy are many man made
objects

And naturally-occurring objects.

STARS
14
Stars are self-luminous objects that shine
through the release of energy produced by nuclear
reactions at their core.
15
Our Galaxy is made up of over 100 billion stars.
The sun is just one of them.
16
BLACK HOLES
17
A black hole is a region in space around a very
small but massive collapsed star.
18
THE GRAVITATIONAL FIELD IS SO INTENSE THAT LIGHT
CANNOT ESCAPE.
19
COMETS Are objects made up of gas, ice and
dust. They travel around the Sun in an orbit.
20
They warm up as they approach the Sun. This
causes the Comet to form a head and tail. The
head is the cloud-like mass we see in the front.
The tail is the trailing part which is made up of
small particles and ice.
21
Comets are named for the person who discovered
them.
22
This is the Shoemaker Comet.
23
COMET
This is Halleys comet.

ASTEROIDS
26
ASTEROIDS
Orbit the Sun mainly between the orbits of Mars
and Jupiter. They are also known as the Minor
Planets.
27
METEORS
28
Meteors are rocks in space. They are often called
shooting stars.
29
When a meteor strikes the earth it is called a
meteorite.
30
The Meteor Crater in Arizona was caused by a
falling Meteorite.
31
NEBULAS
A nebula is an interstellar cloud of gas and
dust.
32
This is the Helix Nebula.
33
These are Nebula Pillars.
34
This is the Crab Nebula.
