How old are barred galaxies?
Barred galaxies per se do not exist. They are just a sub category of spiral galaxies of which about 2/3rds are barred spiral galaxies.
How are spiral galaxys alike barred spiral galaxys?
Barred galaxies per se do not exist. They are just a sub category of spiral galaxies of which about 2/3rds are barred spiral galaxies. A barred spiral galaxy has a central bar shaped structure composed of stars whereas a non barred spiral galaxy does not. See related link for a pictorial of the difference.
What is the difference between all the galaxies?
1. the colors of the gas,dust,clouds 2. diffrent type of stars mostly red dwarfs or like our sun3. their sizes4. types of spiral galaxies...Barred and unbarredthats all i can tell
How is a spiral galaxy and a barred galaxy alike?
See related questions
What do spiral and elliptical galaxies have in common?
They are in space. (: you're welcome.
What are the 3 common galaxies?
galaxie 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
What are the four galaxies?
The 4 types of galaxies are spiral, barred spiral,elliptical and irregular. 1. Spiral galaxy is easiest to identify due to its spiral structure and has its dust and gas scattered out evenly. Two good examples are the Milky Way Galaxy and Andromeda Galaxy. 2. Barred Spiral looks somewhat like a spiral galaxy, but in the first stages. Rather than having the same look as the spiral galaxy, the gas and dust in a barred galaxy are compressed near the center, with unevenness of the gas and dust, even though it still forms somewhat of a spiral. 3. Elliptical Galaxies are one of the largest galaxies with billions of solar systems clustered to appear as one star. With dust and gas scattered throughout, these galaxies appear to be a round shape and tend to hardly contain interstellar matter. 4. Irregular galaxy is also easy to identify because it is poorly structured and are even sometimes called dwarf irregular galaxies.
Is the milky way the smallest galaxy?
no, the milky way is a typical barred spiral with about 200 billion stars some dwarf galaxies my only have a few million stars in fact, there are 2 dwarf galaxies orbiting the milky way that are much smaller
What are four general shapes of galaxies?
Galaxies have different shapes because of what happens throughout their lives. Any galaxy, at one point or another, will encounter another or many galaxies. When encounters occur, gravity takes over. The larger of the two galaxies will consume the smaller one, this is called galactic cannibalism. The act of absorbing another galaxy will change the size of the galaxy it's shape and even the speed of its rotation. Our own galaxy, The Milky Way, is as large it is (100000-150000 Light years across.) because of galactic cannibalism. The Milky Way is as we speak consuming two other small galaxy. And in about 2 billion years, our nearest nieghbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, will collide with our galaxy. Both the Milky Way and Adromeda galaxy are spiral galaxies, but after they collide the resulting new galaxy will an elliptical galaxy, which looks like a bright white sphere.
What is most common galaxies?
there are 3 types of galaxies. 1.spiral 2.elliptical 3.irregular the main galaxy in our universe would be a spiral galaxy
What are 2 ways in which galaxies can differ from one another?
Constellations are patterns of stars that we see in the sky. There are 88 official constellations, like Leo, Orion, Taurus etc. We are in the galaxy called the Milky Way, as are all the stars you can see in all of those constellations. A galaxy is a massive collection of stars. We can see some other galaxies, such as Andromeda, but they just look like a clump of dust in the sky because they are so far away, and we can't pick out individual stars.
