What is a contellation.

The distance that light travels in one year; about 9.46 TRILLION kilometers.
What is a light-year.

A division of the year that is based on the orbit of the moon around the Earth.
What is a month.

I'm smarter than everyone else. So much so, that I built the first quadrant to locate the stars and planets in the sky. I also am the first to ever see a supernova. The king thought I was so fantastic that he gave me my own island where I stay with Jepp and my moose.
Who is Tycho Brahe.
200
This type of telescope uses two lenses.
What is a refracting telescope.
200
The stars in the sky seem like they are changing from season to season because the Earth does this.
What is revolving around the Sun.

This astronomer used the Doppler effect to discover that galaxies are moving arther apart from each other.
Who is Edwin Hubble.
300
The time required for the Earth to orbit once around the sun.
What is a year.

I was the first astronomer to believe in Heliocentrism. Too bad no one believed me while I was alive. I wrote "De Revolutionibus" which was published two days before I died.
Who is Copernicus.
300
Astronomers placed telescopes in outer space because space is missing these two factors which interfere with the images of objects.
What is air pollution and light pollution
300
The angle between an object in the sky and the horizon.
What is altitude.

As an object such as a car approaches it's sound gets higher pitched, but as he passes it's sound becomes lower in pitch.
What is the Doppler effect.
400
The time required for Earth to rotate once on its axis.
What is a day.

I was the first to use a telescope to look to the stars. In doing so I discovered craters and mountains on the moon, 4 of Jupiter's moons, sunspots on the sun, and the phases of Venus.
Who is Galileo.

All of the frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
What is electromagnetic spectrum.

Using this instrument allows an observer to describe the location of a star relative to where you are.
What is a astrolabe.

If a light source, such as a star or galaxy, is moving quickly away from an observes, the light emitted looks redder than it normal does.
What is redshift.
500
The Earth is tilted on it's axis. How many degrees is the Earth tilted.
What is 23.5 degrees.

Brahe who? The planets revolve around elliptical orbits just like race cars around a nascar track. Brahe, wasn't a genious after all!
Who is Johannes Kepler.

This is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see.
What is visible light.
500
An imaginary sphere that astronomers use to talk to each other about the location of a star. It surrounds the Earth.
What is the celestial sphere.

Edwin Hubble discovered that the light from all galaxies except our close neighbors is affected by redshift. This means that...
