Objects sent into space
What was the first man made object sent Into space
Soviet Union's Sputnik 1 satellite😁
One color of the aurora borealis
green, red, pink, blue, purple, yellow, and even white
What is the def of a black hole
Astronomical object with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it
How big is the James Webb Telescope
Primary mirror measuring 6.5 meters (approximately 21 feet) across. The sunshield, which protects the telescope from sunlight, is 22 meters by 12 meters (72 feet by 39 feet), roughly the size of a large truck or half the size of a 737 airliner. The entire telescope weighs about 14,000 pounds, similar to a full-size school bus.
What have we created in space
What is the ISS used for
Unique platform for conducting scientific research in space and for studying how humans live and work in a microgravity environment
About how long does the aurora borealis last for
A few minutes to several hours
What is a black holes surface called
Event horizon
True or False
Can the James Webb Telescope look back in time?
Yes, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can "look back in time
Most important advancement in space

In 1949 what animal was sent into space
Hint, Monkey
rhesus monkey
Nickname of the aurora borealis
Northern Lights
Why cant you see black holes
Because nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole, they are invisible.
What exactly is the James Webb telescope
Powerful infrared observatory orbiting the sun about 930,000 miles from Earth
What helped transportation that came from space missions
Inovations in battery technology, developed for space missions, have led to advancements in electric vehicles and other consumer electronics.
How many objects have been sent to space
54,000
Where is the aurora borealis usually seen from
Earth's magnetic poles
How do black holes affect space time around them
The immense gravity of a black hole bends and warps the space-time around it, affecting the movement of objects and even slowing down time.
When did the James Webb Telescope launch
December 25, 2021.
Why is medical equipment so advanced
Space missions have medical imaging like MRI and CT scans spurred by the need for astronauts to be able to examine each other in space. Space-based research has also led to breakthroughs in drug development using protein crystals.
Smallest object that has been sent to space
Osiris-REx
What exactly is the aurora borealis
Natural light display in the sky caused by collisions between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's atmosphere
How long is 1 min in a black hole
700 years
why was the James Webb telescope made
Designed to study the early universe, including the first stars and galaxies, and to characterize exoplanets, including potentially habitable ones.
Why is going to space important
Space exploration allows us to study the origins and development of life in the cosmos, search for other habitable planets, and investigate the fundamental laws of the universe.
