... Moon . ... What can astronomers tell us about the different colors on the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa? ... We can use the colors of Europa s surface to tell us about the chemical compounds that make up the surface and subsurface of the jovian moon. Even before the first spacecraft made a close visit to Europa, astronomers on Earth used telescopes to study the moon and were able to use a technique called spectroscopy to determine that Europa s surface is composed mostly of water ice. ...

... Constellations are star patterns on the sky ? ... Every star or galaxy we see can then be located on one of the 88 constellations into which we have divided the sky (coincidentally, the same number as there are keys on the piano.) Each of the 88 regions takes its name from the best-known star group or picture in that region, so the constellation Orion is the sector of the sky that includes the easily recognized star-pattern of Orion the Hunter. ...

Astronomers usually measure the flux of an object by collecting light with a telescope, sending it through a known filter, and then determining the power. ... But astronomers usually give their photometric results in terms of magnitudes. ... Astronomers define an absolute magnitude that is independent of the distance of a star and only depends on the intrinsic properties of the object: the absolute magnitude is the magnitude the star would have if it were 10 parsecs away from the Earth. ...
