5.  A galaxy is a collection of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity.  Scientists estimate that there are more than 100 billion galaxies scattered throughout the visible universe.  Galaxies range from 10,000 to 200,000 light-years in size. Galaxies

6.  Globular clusters-groups of older stars

7.  Gravity holds the billions of stars together, and the densest region is in the center, called a core or bulge.  All galaxies have a faint outer region or envelope and a mysterious dark matter halo.

8.  Quasars- star-like sources of light; may be cores of young galaxies

9.  Nebulas- large clouds of dust and gas; birth place of stars

10.  Altogether, a galaxy contains billions of stars and there are trillions of galaxies distributed across the Universe.  There are four main types, spiral, barred spiral, elliptical and irregular.

11.  Have a bulge in the middle and spiral arms  the center of a spiral is made of old stars,  arms made with young stars that formed recently out of gas and dust.  shape caused by the rotation of the galaxy  We live in the Milky Way, a Spiral Galaxy.

12.  Barred spirals have a round or oval bulge with a nearly rectangular bar across it.  The spiral arms attach to the bar rather than the bulge.  Two thirds of all spiral galaxies are barred spirals and after a certain amount of time, the bars disappear.

13.  Have no star formation or any visible features.  Most have thousands of globular clusters  Contain mostly old stars  Have bright centers and very little dust and gas  Looks like a sphere Elliptical Elliptical galaxies might be formed when two galaxies merge

14.  Mostly have grainy, highly irregular groups of bright areas.  They have no noticeable symmetry nor obvious central core  Made of younger stars  They don’t fit any other class  Found near spiral galaxies ▪ Ex. Magellanic Clouds Irregular

15.  The next 10 slides are different pictures of galaxies.  As we go through the pictures, in the chart in your journal, write down the name of which type of galaxy you think each picture is.  Try to get as many as you can correct.  We will review in the end.
