Feel free to ask questions! The astronomy classroom has now been remodelled to be 'indoors' (see post for details) and have windows that look outwards into an animated  image of space, similar to the Great Hall's ceiling enchantment. At the center of the room is a large sphere that is being used as a projector; underneath is the old armillary sphere. Desks are arranged in a circle around this globe and two alcoves (southwest and northwest) have small fireplaces to heat the room, which are raised slightly above the floor with steps leading to them.

The mathematics portion of the test will not be detailed here, for what I hope are obvious reasons! (The basic reason: Math is boring!) The test will be covering the student's knowledge of high-school level algebra and geometry, and with a bonus section of pre-calculus.

Please note that these mathematics are being covered in the Astronomy course, just offscreen; these maths would not be totally new to your student character. For this section, you can just note how well they do on it!

DEFINE Define the following terms to the best of your ability.
Type 1a Supernova __A supernova is the explosive demise of a star - more specifically, a white dwarf star.  Matter from neighboring stars pile on the compressed core of a white dwarf until it reaches enough density to trigger a thermonuclear explosion.  _____		Brown Dwarf __Brown dwarfs are stellar objects that are larger than most planets but do not possess the necessary mass to ignite nuclear fusion.  They fuse some elements but primarily emit large amounts of infrared radiation.  ___
Mass vs. Size __Size, typically, is too vague a term for practical use in science.  Size can, typical, relate to a number of different traits of an object: volume, mass or weight.  The 'size', or volume of an object is the amount of space it takes up or displaces.  Mass is the quantity of inertia an item has while the weight of an object is typically defined by the relation between two factors: mass and acceleration.  The relation of an object's mass and volume determine the object's density.  All these traits can be used to describe an item's 'size.' _____		Redshift __A redshift describes a phenomenon that occurs when light from an object moving away from an observer shifts to the red end of the light spectrum.  This occurs because the frequency of a photon from a retreating object shifts toward lower energy, or longer wavelengths.  ___
TRUE OR FALSE

DEFINE Define the following terms to the best of your ability.
Type 1a Supernova __A supernova occurs when a white dwarf star accumulates sufficient matter from surrounding stars, eventually resulting in a thermonuclear explosion and imminent 'death' of the star._____		Brown Dwarf __The core of a brown dwarf does not possess heat levels sufficient for the const perpetual thermonuclear fusion to occur. As a result, it is not considered to be a star___
Mass vs. Size __'Mass' is more or less used to describe the weight of objects; in other words, it measures the significance of gravity over the object. This differences from 'size', which measure the volume of space taken up by the object. An object high in mass is not necessarily big in size: there is more likely to be a negative correlation between the two.____		Redshift __A redshift occurs when the wavelength of a light (emitting from an object) is 'stretched' or increased. This causes there to be a perceived shift to the red end of the light spectrum.
TRUE OR FALSE
Using the Greek terminology, is the Sun a planet? TRUE / FALSE		The closer an object is to you, the larger its parallax. TRUE / FALSE
