    The galaxy contains more than a trillion galaxies, each with millions of stars and countless amounts of planets. So, the project “Galaxy Zoo” aims to classify some of these distant galaxies within the universe according to their shapes and appearances. Started in 2007, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey contributed around a million images of various galaxies in hopes to gain a better understanding about how galaxies form and what dark matter is. So, this paper will explore interesting findings within the

    Earth; we occasionally perceive our planet to be the center of the universe. However, our planet is just one in millions and billions of other planets and galaxies. We are one grain of sand on the beach of space. Scientists say that everything we know today to be true, started out approximately 13.7 billion years ago as a Big Bang. Everything there is today, all matter, space, time, and energy were condensed into an incredibly small point the size of an atom. It was infinitely hot and infinitely

    A galaxy is a huge collection of dust, gases and stars. A galaxy is created right after the birth of a universe and held together, it is constantly moving through space. There are four different kinds of galaxies: spiral, barred spiral, elliptical and irregular. (Spiral Galaxies) A typical spiral galaxies can be define by how its form, structure, and characterize. Spiral galaxies have the shape of spiral, hit where they get their name from. The arms of the spiral galaxies are made of the stars,

    Simulations of galaxy formation based on the Lambda Cold Dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model predict that a large galaxy such as the Milky Way should have many (~ 200) dwarf satellite galaxies. However, only about 20 or 30 have been identified. Where are the rest? Warm dark matter, constituting of sterile neutrinos, is lighter and since dwarf galaxies consisting mainly of dark matter are so difficult to find by visible light, there could be enough of them to reconcile the large number of dwarf

    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. This galaxy, among

    Voids are the spaces between filaments and are rare because most galaxies exist around voids in sheets or filaments. Most void galaxies scattered throughout the universe. They are are connected by relatively direct void filaments usually 11 to 150 megaparsecs in diameter and which are lighter versions of the typical galaxy can be defined by the absence of galaxies. They filaments that surround voids. These galaxies are theorized to have formed from mass are theorized to have formed from pure
