Manuscript
A very old book or paper that people wrote or drew on by hand a long time ago. It’s something special because it’s often very old and written before there were machines to print books like we have today.
Medieval
A word that talks about a long time ago, especially during the time between the fifth and 15th centuries in Europe. It’s when knights, castles, and kings were around!
Celestial Bodies
Things that we can see up in the sky, like the sun, the moon, and stars. They’re objects in space that shine or give off light.
Telescope
A special tool that helps us see things that are very far away in space. It’s like a magic tube with lenses that make faraway things look bigger and clearer.
Stars
Big balls of burning gas far away in space that shine brightly in the night sky. They’re like the sun, but they’re very, very far away.
Planets
Big round objects in space that orbit, or go around, stars like the sun. Our Earth is a planet, and so are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn!
Solar System
Like a big family of the sun; planets, moons, and other objects that all orbit, or go around, the sun. It’s like a big space neighborhood!
James Webb Space Telescope
Like a giant eye in space that helps scientists see really far away. It’s named after a scientist who loved exploring space. This telescope helps us learn more about stars, planets, and galaxies that are very, very far away from Earth.
