how to play
War
Objects in space have varying sizes ranging from planets all the way
to galaxies. Players shuffle the cards and divide up the cards evenly.
Without looking at cards, a player draws a card from the top of their
stack and places it in the center. Using the categories of size outlined
in Guide to Objects Card, players gain more cards if their card is
bigger than their opponents. For instance, player 1 places a star
cluster card, while player 2 places a planetary nebula card. Player 1
would win the round because star clusters are larger than planetary
nebula.
Go Fish
Players shuffle the cards and hand out 5 cards to each player. The
remaining cards are placed face down in the center. A player asks a
specific player if they have a specific category. If the person does not
have any cards of that category, they say Go Fish. The asker then
takes a card from the top of the stack. If the asked player has a card
matching the category, they must hand it over to the asker.
Sorting
Players can arrange cards by category or by constellation
Distances
Players can order cards based on distance from Earth.
Matching
By combining two decks, players can play a memory game. Place all
cards face down in rows. One player turns over two cards. If the cards
do not match, the cards are turned back over. If the cards match,
player keeps the pair. Game play continues until all pairs have been
matched.
About Hubble Space Telescope card provides basic information and

trivia about the space telescope.
Guide to Objects card offers a description of each of the basic
sections offered in the game outlines the basic objects included in
the game.
How to Play card gives some examples of game play. These are
guidelines for use. Teachers and students are encouraged to modify
or develop new games to keep learning relevant and exciting.
guide to objects
Planets - Any of eight objects that orbit the Sun, with
round shapes and clear their orbits. Pluto was reclassified
as a dwarf planet in 2006.
Planetary Nebula - An expanding shell of glowing gas
released by a Sun-like star late in life. Our Sun will create
a planetary nebula in about 4 billion years.
Supernova Remnants - The glowing, expanding
gaseous remains of a supernova explosion. A supernova
is the explosive death of a massive star.
Nebula - Clouds of interstellar gas and dust. The gas in
some nebula glows from the ultraviolet light of a nearby
star. Nebula can also reflect light from nearby stars.
Star Clusters - A group of stars born at about the same
time. Stars in these clusters are bound by gravity and stay
together for billions of years. The Pleiades is an example.
Galaxies - A collection of stars, gas and dust bound by
gravity. The Milky Way Galaxy contains our Sun and solar
system.

The Cats Eye Nebula, or NGC 6543, is a

classic planetary nebula. The Cats Eye
Nebula, one of the youngest planetary
nebula we see, is the final stage in the life of
a star much like our own Sun. Our Sun will
last for another 5 billion years but this could
be what it looks like late in its life.

One of the most famous of all planetary

nebula, the Ring Nebula (M57) is the
remains of Sun-like star. The central star has
blown off layers of gas and dust to form a
bubble in space. The nebula itself is about a
light-year in diameter. The Ring Nebula lies
toward the constellation of Lyra, the lyre
about 2,000 light-years from Earth.
The Helix Nebula, or NGC 7293, is one of the

closest planetary nebula to Earth at only 690
light-years away toward the constellation
Aquarius. The comet-like streaks, floating in a
sea of blue gas, form when the super-hot
and fast solar wind plows into the cooler
shells of dust and gas. Ultraviolet light from
the hot, central star causes the gas to glow.

NGC 4921 is a barred spiral in the Coma

Galaxy Cluster. The diffuse spiral arms lack
structure and astronomers believe this
galaxy has used up most of the gas used in
star formation. A dark dust ring near the
center of the galaxy shows the formation of
hot, blue stars.

The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 looks

like a giant cosmic dust ball in this Hubble
Space Telescope image. The galaxys giant
dust lanes and some star clusters can be
seen in the image.
The Tadpole Galaxy, also called UGC 10214,

has a tail made up of stars thats 280,000 light
years long. This odd spiral galaxy seems to be
swimming through space. Long ago, the
larger galaxy crashed with a smaller galaxy,
seen above and to the left. The crash
distorted and disrupted the Tadpole Galaxy
leaving some stars behind.

M101 is a giant face-on spiral galaxy 170,000

light years across; nearly twice the size ofour
Milky Way Galaxy. Astronomers estimate this
huge spiral galaxy contains at least one
trillion stars. Sprinkled throughout the spiral
arms are giant nebulas where young stars
are born.
