Comparing The Tadpole Galaxy And Globular Clusters

Long before Life reached Earth, the Stars were discussing among themselves. They all wanted their own space, and to remain close to each other. Many wanted to watch Life grow in it's more primitive, small form. Many stars went far away to to other galaxies, both cold and lonely and soon-to-be full of life. But this story happens on our own galaxy, the Milky Way, were 6 stars were disputing between themselves who'd be the Pole stars. And so it went, that the stars fought and

All over our galaxy are pockets of space, filled with dust and gas. Some of these clouds are denser than others, and every once and a while, a cloud of this gas begins squeezing together due to its own gravity. This is when a star begins to form. The cloud begins to form into a rotating disk, with the inner section rotating faster than the outer. The center will begin to heat up because of the pressure and thermonuclear reactions start in its center. Eventually, two hydrogen atoms get squeezed together with extreme pressure so that they fuse into one atom of helium, releasing a massive amount of energy, when this happens; the object is now a protostar. As the star ages, it begins to run out of hydrogen, and the star starts to spasm. It is now a subgiant. The

Scientists using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the i halo of gas enveloping the Andromeda galaxy, our nearest massive neighbor, is about six times larger and 1,000 times more massive than previously measured. The dark, nearly invisible halo stretches about a million light-years from its host galaxy, halfway to our own Milky Way galaxy. One of the most common types of galaxies in the universe.

What probably has been the core of the “target” galaxy can be seen as a small yellow area at 5 o’clock inside the newly formed ring. Massive star formation dominates the ring. Infrared observations also reveal a strong

This led to two disk-dominated galaxies were forced by gravity to merge into a single galaxy. The merger had also destroyed the disks and produced a huge pileup of stars.

Because the stars are so far apart, there is no possible chance of two stars colliding. The Milky Way galaxy has about 300 billion stars and Andromeda contains about one trillion, but the distances are too great to cause any stellar collisions. Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the sun, is about 4.25 light years away. Between the sun and Proxima Centauri is mostly dark matter. Some researchers at the University of Arizona report that, “Although galaxies look like dense concentrations of stars they are really very empty. In the Milky Way, the average distance between stars is about 5 light years, or 30 trillion miles.” We know that the stars won’t collide, but will the black holes collide? Both galaxies have black holes at the center of them (about four billion times the mass of the sun) which will eventually “cannibalize one another, and throw out a lot of X-rays in the process. This supermassive black hole will then proceed to chow down on the material in the middle of the galaxy, producing enough radiation to make it easy to spot even here on earth.” This is a scary thought, but we probably will not be around to see this happen so it should not frighten anyone too

While learning in this unit in astronomy, something that caught my attention was called "starburst galaxies." Galaxies in general are basically billions of large independent groups of stars that exist in the universe. What sets a starburst galaxy apart from a regular galaxy is the fact that starburst galaxies have an exceptionally high rate of star formation inside of it. Some of these galaxies are so active that they are forming thousands of new stars every year, compared to the Milky Way producing about one star per year. This furious formation of stars typically happens when galaxies are in the process of or have recently undergone a collision with another galaxy. The gravitational interaction between the two galaxies sends strong shockwaves through enormous clouds of gas, making them collapse and create star forming regions. These develop some of the most gigantic stars in our universe; huge blue stars with over a hundred solar masses.

NASA’s Chandra X-ray observation exposed that a new generation of stars yield by a super-massive black hole of the center Milky Way

Rose Galaxy – Given it’s name for the obvious reason that it looks like a rose, these are actually two galaxies that are interacting with each other. I love that these shocking space pictures shows how even galaxies work in tandom together.

Images of the galaxy in the radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum show two jets protruding in opposite directions from the galaxy's center. These jets extend many times the width of the portion of the host galaxy which emits radiation at visible wavelengths.[5] At the ends of the jets are two lobes with "hot spots" of more intense radiation at their edges. These hot spots are formed when material from the jets collides with the surrounding intergalactic medium.[6]

The solar system in which Earth is located travels faster than the spiral arms of the Milky Way. When Earth is located inside one of the spiral arms there is a greater density of stars. As the solar system nears a star, the gravitational pull from the star could disrupt the Oort cloud. the Oort cloud is a cluster of comets loosely bound to the Sun by gravity left over from the creation of the solar system. If a star is big enough or close enough to disrupt a comet from the Oort cloud, the comet could crash into the

On April 16th, 1998, astronomers discovered a young solar system 220 light years away from Earth. Two teams of astronomers found disks of dust and gas that were swirling around a star. They stated that the dust particles around the

Lots of matter was in a ball and then it exploded and the universe was created. All of that matter formed planets and galaxies. Our galaxy was created 5 billion years ago. We haven't been around that long figuratively speaking. As lots of gases and mass came together it formed the sun. when the sun was formed more and more of mass and gas came to our newborn galaxy and when they came together it form planets. When More and more planets and stars were formed the galaxy started to form. When a lot of gas and other matter comes together it can create a huge star or a sun. when stars or sun start to lose their energy. They will grow and grow till they become unstable. If the star is big enough it will turn into a black hole. A black hole is so strong that it can suck in anything, even light! When something gets sucked into it it will be crushed into nothing. In 4 billion years the galaxy next to us will get sucked into our gravitational pull and will collide with our solar system. When they collide it will create one big galaxy. Our solar system will have already been gone. Here are the types of galaxies, one of galaxy types are called the magellanic cloud. It has lots and lots of stars, five billion stars to be exact. Another type of a galaxy is the spiral galaxy. The milky way galaxy is a spiral galaxy. This is a lot of solar system rotating around a black hole or a white dwarf. The main type of galaxy is the elliptical galaxy. They look like a squashed up ball, they are the largest and the brightest galaxies in the universe. In the center of the galaxy there are constant explosions of millions of stars. They out number the spiral galaxies, if someone scattered 12 tennis balls across the united states they would be more crowded than the galaxies in the

The comet galaxy was founded on March 2, 2007. It is located within the Abell 2667 galaxy cluster. It is located about 3.2 billion lightyears away from our planet. It has been named the “Comet Galaxy,” due to the fact that it is a spiral shaped galaxy curved like a comet. It has not always appeared this way though. Natural forces have warped the image of this far away galaxy. Scorching gas plasma rips apart the galaxy as well as its movement throughout the clustered galaxy space.

A galaxy, also called a nebula, consists of billions of stars, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter which are all bound to form a massive cloud in which we live in. Although it cannot be very well explained, dark matter makes up at least 90% of a galaxy’s mass.
