Looking for aliens from the far side of the moon [COMIC]

antenna: (plural: antennae oregon antennas) In biology: Either of a brace of long, bladed sensory appendages connected the heads of insects, crustaceans and immoderate different arthropods. (in physics) Devices for picking up (receiving) electromagnetic energy.

array: A wide and organized radical of objects. Sometimes they are instruments placed successful a systematic manner to cod accusation successful a coordinated way. Other times, an array tin notation to things that are laid retired oregon displayed successful a mode that tin marque a wide scope of related things, specified arsenic colors, disposable astatine once. The word tin adjacent use to a scope of options oregon choices.

astronaut: Someone trained to question into abstraction for probe and exploration.

astronomer: A idiosyncratic who works successful the tract of probe that deals with celestial objects, abstraction and the carnal universe.

crater: A large, bowl-shaped cavity successful the crushed oregon connected the aboveground of a satellite oregon the moon. They are typically caused by an detonation oregon the interaction of a meteorite oregon different celestial body. Such an interaction is sometimes referred to arsenic a cratering event.

exoplanet: Short for extrasolar planet, it’s a satellite that orbits a prima extracurricular our star system.

hydrogen: The lightest constituent successful the universe. As a gas, it is colorless, odorless and highly flammable. It’s an integral portion of galore fuels, fats and chemicals that marque up surviving tissues. It’s made of a azygous proton (which serves arsenic its nucleus) orbited by a azygous electron.

magnetic field: An country of power created by definite materials, called magnets, oregon by the question of electrical charges.

metal: Something that conducts energy well, tends to beryllium shiny (reflective) and is malleable (meaning it tin beryllium reshaped with vigor and not excessively overmuch unit oregon pressure).

moon: The earthy outer of immoderate planet.

NASA: Short for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Created successful 1958, this U.S. bureau has go a person successful abstraction probe and successful stimulating nationalist involvement successful abstraction exploration. It was done NASA that the United States sent radical into orbit and yet to the moon. It besides has sent probe trade to survey planets and different celestial objects successful our star system.

prototype: A archetypal oregon aboriginal exemplary of immoderate device, strategy oregon merchandise that inactive needs to beryllium perfected.

radiation: (in physics) One of the 3 large ways that vigor is transferred. (The different 2 are conduction and convection.) In radiation, electromagnetic waves transportation vigor from 1 spot to another. Unlike conduction and convection, which request worldly to assistance transportation the energy, radiation tin transportation vigor crossed bare space.

radio waves: Waves successful a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are a benignant that radical present usage for long-distance communication. Longer than the waves of disposable light, vigor waves are utilized to transmit vigor and tv signals. They besides are utilized successful radar.

satellite: A satellite orbiting a satellite oregon a conveyance oregon different manufactured entity that orbits immoderate celestial assemblage successful space.

star: The basal gathering artifact from which galaxies are made. Stars make erstwhile gravity compacts clouds of gas. When they go blistery enough, stars volition emit airy and sometimes different forms of electromagnetic radiation. The prima is our closest star.

telescope: Usually a light-collecting instrumentality that makes distant objects look nearer done the usage of lenses oregon a operation of curved mirrors and lenses. Some, however, cod vigor emissions (energy from a antithetic information of the electromagnetic spectrum) done a web of antennas.

tether: A necktie oregon cord that loosely anchors immoderate entity to a semi-fixed position. Or the process of tying immoderate entity to a cord that volition support it loosely affixed to that position. (Consider the child’s crippled tether ball, whereby a cord it attached to a shot connected 1 extremity and an anchoring rod connected the different end.)

universe: The full cosmos: All things that beryllium passim abstraction and time. It has been expanding since its enactment during an lawsuit known arsenic the Big Bang, immoderate 13.8 cardinal years agone (give oregon instrumentality a fewer 100 cardinal years).

wave: A disturbance oregon saltation that travels done abstraction and substance successful a regular, oscillating fashion.

wavelength: The region betwixt 1 highest and the adjacent successful a ser...
