Andromeda Galaxy

Perdido Beach is like a rotten banana, nobody wants to eat it but it has other useful uses ☺. In chapters one through thirty-six, multiple events occurred which changed Perdido Beach forever. For example, there is now a dearth of food due to the Zekes that were found in their fields for food, Lana tried to kill “The Darkness,” Caine took control of the power plant, and there is a secret fish service going on in Perdido Beach. The society of Perdido could use three main objects to help their survival

“Nebulae” inside the Milky Way Galaxy or separate, distant Galaxies? Discoveries of what were termed “nebulae” began in the early 17th century. The first of these discoveries was the Orion Nebula, which looked like a normal star to the naked eye. French scholar Peiresc discovered it in 1610 using one of the first telescopes to be made. Later, in 1656, Christiaan Huygens observed the interior of the Orion Nebula and determined that it consisted of a compact quadruple star system instead of a singular

Constellation - Andromeda The Andromeda Constellation is located in the northern hemisphere, it can be seen at latitudes between +90°and -40° and is best visible at 9 p.m. during the month of November. The constellation is, also, home to the Andromeda Galaxy, that resides 2,5 light-years from earth. This constellation is beyond complex, for the myth that names it, as well for being next doors neighbors with it's galaxy, thus my interest in it. The constellation was named after Princess Andromeda, also known

What are Galaxies? You have probably heard about galaxies, whether it was in school, a book, a television show, or movie, you've most likely heard about them. If you're wondering, "what exactly are galaxies?" fret not, friend, for I will help you figure out this question. Let's start with some history. In 5th century, BC, someone named Democritus had the idea that the bright band in the sky(known as the Milky Way) may be composed of stars. In 4th century BC, Aristotle had the similar idea: "the

fuzzy “spiral nebulae” (which today we call galaxies): Were they close enough to be part of our own Milky Way, or were they sufficiently distant to be whole galaxies unto themselves? Shapley held that, given that his research had revised an increase in theinupward the size of the Milky Way, the spiral nebulae must be part of our own Galaxy. His opponent, Heber Curtis of California’s Lick Observatory, while incorrectly rejecting the great size of our Galaxy, correctly argued that the spirals were removed

What: How do galaxies affect us? Answer: We live in our galaxy called the Milky Way. It is called this because early human civilizations thought it looked like a giant milky swirl in the night sky. The closest galaxy to the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy, is said to have a strong gravitational pull with the Milky Way, and will eventually collide, which may or may not destroy everything in both galaxies. (Most likely will.) The collision could create a black hole, destroying everything once the

also interact within galaxies. Even the Milky Way galaxy as stated by the Hubble Expansion of the Universe the universe is expanding at a steady rate, but as the universe expands it is not simply moving apart; many galaxies are, in fact, interacting with one another in a sort of cosmic pinball. There are many ways that galaxies interact with one another and some ways are better than others. A merger is one of the more violent of interactions, it occurs when two galaxies collide. They do not

#38 The Milky Way Galaxy is made up of stars, nebulae, stellar stars and supernovas. In The early 20th Century, astronomers were trying to figure out what the faint fizzy objects in the sky they had a variety of different shapes. Some were elongated, round and some has spiral arms. Looking at the sky with a telescope the objects looks smokey and got their name “?Nebulae”. Astronomers couldn't quite understand how they formed and began doing research, later discovering what the objects are. In

collisions or interactions between galaxies are often observed and can be predicted too. This colossal phenomenon occurs due to the large gravitational fields of the galaxies which attract other galaxies or are attracted by the fields of the other galaxies. The force of gravity is exerted when two galaxies are extremely close to each other. Near misses and crashes between any two galaxies are generally referred to as “interactions”. Collision may lead to merging and the galaxies may also bend out of shape

the Milky Way Galaxy was much larger than the “conventional” scale based on star counts, but then incorrectly concluded that similar-sized galaxies beyond our own could not exist. Curtis incorrectly accepted the smaller size for our Galaxy, but correctly argued that similar galaxies might exist beyond our own. Distribution of the Nebulae in the Sky – Curtis noted that the observed spiral nebulae were generally found away from the plane of the Galaxy, and he suggested that our Galaxy had a “ring” of
