US President: This is the most senior politician in America and one of the most important jobs in the world. They are leader of the United States and adults in the country vote every four years for who they want it to be. The next Presidential election is in November 2020.

Telescope: When it comes to space exploration, these are giant machines used to look deep into the galaxy. Usually in the shape of a huge dish they allows scientists to record sound and images from far away planets.

Exoplanet: This is the name given to a planet outside our own Solar System which orbits around a different star than our Sun.

First edition copy: This is the name given to the first set of books that an author prints to see if their work will sell in the shops. If it sells well, then more are printed, which become second edition copies, and so on.

Auction: When something goes up for auction it means that if someone wants to buy something, they offer an amount of money which can then either be matched or beaten by someone else who wants to buy it. That contest goes on until all the other buyers have dropped out as the price gets too expensive for them.
