Knowing as we do today that the universe is amenable to investigation, and that telescopes can examine millions of galaxies at distances of millions of light – years. [2] Though they shine with light of many billions of suns, most galaxies are so distant that they look faint. There are only three galaxies visible to the naked eye from the surface of the earth. These are the two Magellanic Clouds, which lie in the southern skies and the Andromeda Galaxy, whose tenuous glow was aptly described by a seventeenth – century observer. The form and variety of galaxies differ in size and mass. Normal galaxies or, often-called spiral galaxies are mostly large. The general anatomy can be described in three ways: a central region or elliptical (based on the shape and centered upon the nucleus), and a spherical corona or halo, composed primarily of old dwarf stars [3] and a globular cluster [4]. Spiral galaxies are probably formed from giant clouds of rapidly spinning hydrogen gases. Some of the gases pulled to the center by gravity and condensed into stars. The rotating disk of gases and stars form arms [5] and that is what gives the galaxy it... |
