Properties of Clusters of Galaxies Monday (4/15/2013) Procedure For this experiment‚ a photograph of the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies will be needed to observe. The photograph will be sectioned into specific areas with coordinates like a map. Locate the area and identify the galaxies. Classify the galaxies as elliptical‚ spiral‚ or irregular. An elliptical galaxy will appear solid with not real defined “arms” or spirals coming from the center. An elliptical galaxy can be further classified E0

An international team of astronomers used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space

Out of the major galaxies‚ the Andromeda Galaxy is located nearest to our Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy is two million light years away from us‚ but it can be seen with the naked eye because it is very bright. In this galaxy there are over a hundred billion stars. It is known to be the brightest galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy and is part of the Local Group. It has a large star cluster in its heart and a very large hidden black hole deep in the core. The middle is very bright

Characterizing the Most Extreme Emission Line Galaxies Spring 2014 UROP Proposal Ian Jaeger Background During the first 379‚000 years (redshift z = 1089) after the Big Bang‚ the matter of the universe consisted primarily of free protons‚ electrons and photons. After the matter had cooled and spread out‚ these particles combined to form hydrogen and allowed the photons to freely travel without interacting with free electrons‚ forming what we know of today as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).

The Andromeda Galaxy /ænˈdrɒmɨdə/ is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years (2.4×1019 km) from Earth[4] in the Andromeda constellation. Also known as Messier 31‚ M31‚ or NGC 224‚ it is often referred to as the Great Andromeda Nebula in older texts. The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy‚ but not the closest galaxy overall. It gets its name from the area of the sky in which it appears‚ the constellation of Andromeda‚ which was named after the mythological

The Andromeda galaxy‚ 2.5 million light years away. It’s racing through space‚ everything blown apart‚ like shrapnel in an explosion because our universe is expanding with an ever accelerating pace; hence every element of it is going away from its neighbors. We are seeing this galaxy as it was when our ape like ancestors first walked on the African plains. Further through space and further back in time. There is order in this chaos‚ a perfect pattern formation behind the infinite variety‚ an endless

I could picture the scene of what I was reading so clearly that it felt like my body was there. I loved the way they represented what happened to Arthur on planet earth in a gross way where the house to be demolished for a pathway was the earth in the galactic space. I loved the idea of having a fancy galaxy with a president who has two heads and
