Black hole:
Black Hole is a hypothetical region in space, which has a big gravitational pull for which no matter, or radiation can escape from it. Even it is believed that light cannot escape from it. Black Hole usually likes at the centre of galaxy.

• Cosmic Rays:
Cosmic Rays are charged particles moving as fast as the speed of light. Most of the particles are protons, while some are alpha particles and electrons. They travel throughout our galaxy, including the solar system and some strike the earth’s atmosphere. Instruments on the Earth can detect them. Nobody knows how cosmic rays are formed. Exploding stars or supernova forms some of them and some come from outside our Galaxy.

• UFO (Unidentified Flying Objects):
UFO, these are objects, which are seen in the sky that cannot be explained. They are also known as flying saucers because they sometimes appear to look like spinning disc.

The zodiac, in as astronomy is an imaginary belt that extend eight degree on either side of the annual path or eliptic of the sun. The orbits of the moon and of the major planets of the Solar System (except Pluto) lies entirely within the zodiac. It is divided into 12 equal areas-signs of the zodiac, each of 30-degrees. The Zodiac is derived from Greek Zodiakos, which means circle of animals. Zodiac is used by astrologers to predict the future.
