Beautiful space terms
By studying the cosmos beyond our own planet, we can understand where we came from, where we are going, and how physics works under conditions which are impossible to recreate on Earth.
In astronomy, the Universe is our laboratory.
Beautiful space terms
To think beyond ourselves and our Earth, to reach the truly unreachable has a certain fascination.
But astronomy did not begin for such lofty purposes.
For a long time, humans considered the sky to be an integral part of the Earth, a sphere that existed around our planet but which was less rigid than our own..

Sun glossary: S
Solar atmosphere: The sun's atmosphere is made up of three layers: the photosphere, the chromosphere and the corona.
Solar cycle: The sun reaches a peak – or maximum – in activity (sunspots, coronal mass ejections, solar flares) on an average of every 11 years..
How long have people studied astronomy?
The first documented records of systematic astronomical observations date back to the Assyro-Babylonians around 1000 BCE.
From this cradle of civilisation in Mesopotamia – in the southern part of present-day Iraq – astronomers had built up knowledge of the celestial bodies and recorded their periodic motions..

The Orz refer to it when discussing the Taalo *playground*.
According to the Orz, the Taalo went to *Pretty Space* from *heavy space* because of the Dnyarri.
Presumably this is a reference to the Dnyarri conquest of the Sentient Milieu..
What makes space so attractive?
The celestial bodies, especially stars, are just as much a part of our natural environment as the air and the water.
Animals have been looking at the moon and the stars for millions of years before humans existed and it is likely that they like the sight of the stars beautiful, as we do..
Why stars are very far?
Stars are far apart in space because they are so far apart in time.
Because space expands over time, and has been at it for 14 billion years, the things in space have moved very, very, far apart.
But because things have mass, and mass exerts gravitational force on other mass, things tend to come together..
- Space is a three-dimensional continuum containing positions and directions.
In classical physics, physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions.
Modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime.
