Galaxy A galaxy is a huge group of single stars, star systems, star clusters, dust, and gas bound together by gravity. Galaxies are larger than solar systems. – Our Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 times the size of our solar system. – Distances between galaxies are also very large…light years.

Types of Galaxies Spiral galaxy Barred-spiral galaxy Elliptical galaxy Irregular galaxy – Take a moment to discuss these terms with your neighbor. Why do you think these galaxies are given these titles? (C) Copyright all rights reserved image courtesy of all/ /

Spiral Galaxy Looks like a pinwheel or satellite image of a hurricane Large bulge in the center and arms that spiral outward – arms contain gas, dust, and many bright young stars – most new stars form in the arms (C) Copyright all rights reserved image courtesy of Spiral

Barred-Spiral Galaxy Similar to spiral galaxy Just what the name implies Has a bar running through the center Contains a band of bright stars emerging from the center and running across the middle of the entire galaxy (C) Copyright all rights reserved image courtesy of ed_spiral_galaxies

Elliptical Galaxy Looks like a round or flattened ball Contains billions of stars, but little gas and dust Stars are no longer forming Contain only old stars (C) Copyright all rights reserved image courtesy of

Irregular Galaxy Has no specific shape or organization Smaller galaxies Contain young stars and a lot of gas and dust Able to form new stars (C) Copyright all rights reserved image courtesy of arburst_in_a_Dwarf_Irregular_Galaxy.jpg

Can you identify galaxies? (C) Copyright all rights reserved images courtesy of all/

Questions? What are some things that you would like to know about galaxies? Write your question on a post it note and place it on the board. After posting your question, you can take a quick break so that we can regroup. (C) Copyright all rights reserved
