With a wide-field multi-IFU spectrograph. Cluster studies. Clusters provide large samples of galaxies in a moderate field. Unique perspective on the interaction of galaxies with their environment. As they operate much as a closed box, they are useful as tracers of galaxy evolution and of cosmology. The outer planets are called Jovian or Jupiter-like.. These planets are made of gas and are several times more massive than the Earth.. The Jovian planets grew to present size in about 10 million years.. Comets. one of the most glorious things to see in the sky is a comet.. May be visible for only days, weeks, or months. Comet. : chunks of ice and dust whose orbits are very long, narrow ellipses..
