Baryonic Matter
a source of anti-gravity, which is the reason of the expansion of the universe.
Dark Energy
has gravity but cannot emit light
Dark Matter
Tested of correct concepts/propositions that can be used to explain things.
Theory
an early stage in the formation of a star resulting from the gravitational collapse of gases.
Protostar
stars that fuse hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms in their cores; outward pressure resulting from nuclear fusion is balanced by gravitational forces
Main sequence stars
the distance light can travel in a year; a unit of length used to measure astronomical distance
Light years
a nuclear fusion reaction responsible for the energy produced by stars.
Thermonuclear reaction
comprises all space and time and all matter and energy.
