Across Answers

1. Abbr. on old Eurasian maps SSR – stands for Soviet Socialist Republics of which there were 15 that made up the Russian empire after the Russian Revolution.
4. Video game area ARCADE – Arcade games became a term for computer gaming before the existence of personal computers and personal game consuls as this is where people would go to play them. Game arcades still exist in small pockets of towns and cities here and there but these days instead of kids standing around a pinball machine jeering each other it all happens online now.
10. Dashboard gauge, briefly TACH – the tachometer is gauge or device that measures the revolutions per minute (rpm) of an engine. The phrase “red-lining it” refers to the tachometer meaning the engine is getting revved right out.

15. Honeybunch DEARIE
16. Scandinavian capital that uses garbage to generate energy OSLO – You’ve surely heard the phrase “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. Well this takes it to a new extreme.

22. T-shirt size array, briefly SML
23. Online finance company E-LOAN
24. Building blocks of matter ATOMS – these are kind of important to us, Earth and the universe as they are basically the Lego blocks of well…everything (including Lego). An atom is made up of Protons which have a positive charge, neutrons which have a neutral charge and electrons which have a negative charge. The protons and neutrons are joined together to form the nucleus and the electron orbits the nucleus. When you add a new proton you get a new type of atom. Carbon, the most common type of atom in the universe is made up of 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.
25. Cheerios grain OAT
27. Prefix with verse UNI – Something interesting happening in universe science at the moment is the work on detecting gravitational waves. The theory is that a gravitational wave is a wave of immense energy moving at the speed of light caused by an an extreme event such as the collision of two stars, or a star going ‘supernova’. These were first predicted by Einstein about 100 years ago and science today has developed a new technique called ‘quantum squeezing’ to give detectors a higher level of sensitivity.
