2. SPACE theories of its origin researching components the universe and how astronomers gain information by investigating such as such as including Big Bang Theory nebulae Investigating the effect of taking using galaxies measurements tools stars forces classified as using especially such as elliptical gravity light years satellite irregular spectroscope spiral electromagnetic spectrum ex: telescope ex: Sun Milky Way radio telescope medium-sized Am I able to ___? 8.8 (A) describe components of the universe, including stars, nebulae, and galaxies, and use models such as the Herztsprung-Russell diagram for classification; 8.8 (B) recognize that the Sun is a medium-sized star near the edge of a disc-shaped galaxy of stars and that the Sun is many thousands of times closer to Earth than any other star; 8.8 (C) explore how different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum … are used to gain information about distances and properties of components in the universe; 8.8 (D) model and describe how light years are used to measure distances and sizes in the universe; 8.8 (E) research how scientific data are used as evidence to develop scientific theories to describe the origin of the universe.
