Galaxies!

Yes, there are more than
just our own.
Galaxies are…
 Massive systems of stars, dust and

gas held together by gravity.
 Galaxies usually have a clump of stars

at the center called the central bulge.
Most larger galaxies have a black hole
at the center.
Spiral Galaxies…

 Distinct central
concentration of

stars (bulge) at
center with spiral
arms radiating
outward.
 Spiral galaxies
make up
approximately 60%
of the galaxies in
the Universe.
Barred Spiral Galaxies…

 Similar to a regular spiral galaxy but
with a cross bar cutting through the
center with arms swirling at the ends
Elliptical Galaxies…
 You guessed it!

They are elliptical
in shape!! (I know
you know what
that means…)
Irregular Galaxies…

 These are the galaxies that are neither

elliptical nor spiral; they are a variety of
shapes.
Our Galaxy is…..
The Milky Way Galaxy!
 Barred spiral galaxy
 120,000 Light years
in Diameter

 Every star we see in
the night sky
(between 100-400
billion stars)
 Rotates Clockwise
great
What’s in the center?
 We know that we have what’s called a

“central bulge”.
 It has been recently confirmed that there
is a massive black hole in the center of the
Milky Way.
WHAT?!?!? Black Hole?? Nooo!
 The Black hole has 4 million times the

mass of the sun, but is billions of times
weaker than black holes in other galaxies.
 Sooo… Don’t worry! It’s not going to
“suck” us into it. We’re fine. (but if it did,
you know what would happen…. We
would DIE)
Our closest neighbor: Andromeda!
• Andromeda is our

closest neighboring
galaxy
• It is approximately
2.5 million light
years away from
us and is classified
as a spiral galaxy.
