This document contains images and information about astronomical objects like sunspots, nebulae, and supernova remnants. It also defines a light year as the distance light travels in one year, which is about 9.5 trillion kilometers. In addition, it shows pictures of Venus, asteroids, meteors, and comets while providing a brief description of asteroids.

supernova remnant lies 2,500 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus the
Swan. (Courtesy of Jeff Hester (Arizona State University) and NASA)

7. What is a light year?
A light-year is a unit of distance. It is the
distance that light can travel in one year.
Light moves at a velocity of about 300,000
kilometers (km) each second. So in one
year, it can travel about 10 trillion km. More
precisely, one light-year is equal to
9,500,000,000,000 kilometers
(5,890,000,000,000 miles)

8. This is the Vela Supernova Remnant. This nebula is the remnant of a
supernova that exploded about 10,000 years ago.

13. AsteroidsAsteroids are rocky and
metallic objects that orbit
the Sun but are too small
to be considered planets.
They are known as minor
planets.
