Question 1

Objects in the constellation _______ include the spiral galaxy of the same name.

Answer 1

Andromeda

Question 2

These objects are classified as C-type, S-type or M-type based on their spectral lines, and
their astronomical symbol is a generic numbered disc. Large examples of these objects include Pallas and
Vesta. These objects get their name from the Greek for “star-like.” For the point, name these rocks that
make up a namesake belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Answer 2

Asteroids

Question 3

When these objects share an orbit with a planet or moon, they are termed Trojans. The
search that resulted in the discovery of the first of these objects was triggered by a prediction made by
the Titus-Bode Law, which predicted a planet about 2.8 AU [ay-yu] from the sun. In December 2018, the
OSIRIS-REX mission reached Bennu, one of these objects, to collect samples and return them to Earth.
For the point, identify these objects, most of which orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter in a namesake
“belt”.

Answer 3

Asteroids

Question 4

WIMPs and MACHOs are two proposed bodies to explain the presence of this entity. This entity was first suggested by Dutch astronomers Jacobus Kapteyn and Jan Oort. Galaxies that are thought to contain this substance have faster rotation than what is calculated by just their visible mass. For the point, name this mysterious form of matter, named because it does not emit any detectable light.

Answer 4

Dark Matter
