Moon
The moon (latin:luna) is Earth's only natural satellite and the fifth largest satellite in the solar system.The average centre-to-centre distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 km, about thirty times the diameter of the Earth. The common centre of mass of the system (the barycentre) is located about 1,700 km—a quarter the Earth's radius—beneath the surface of the Earth. The moon takes a complete orbit around the Earth in 27.3 days.
Stars
Stars are luminous balls of plasma held together by gravity.The closest star to Earth is the Sun, which is the source of most of the energy on Earth.Other stars are visible in the night sky, when they are not outshone by the Sun. For most of its life, a star shines due to thermonuclear fusion in it's core realsing energy that traverses the star's interior and then radiates into outerspace.

asteroids
Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets planetoids are small solar-system bodies in orbit around the sun; they are smaller than planets but larger than meteoroids. The term "asteroid" has historically been applied primarily to bodies in the inner Solar System since the outer solar-system was poorly known when it came into common usage.

Black-holes
Black-holes are made by the sun.The sun at the moment is eating its fire and making itself bigger, but what will happen when the sun runs out of fire?What will happen is that the sun will eat itself and it will explode in a immense supernova ,thus making a black-hole so in a million years or so the sun in our solar-system will turn into a black-hole, consuming everything in our solar-system.And did you know that the black-holes aren't really black, they are transparent.
