What galaxy has arms where lots of new stars are being born?
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy (actually a bared spiral) and new stars are being born in the spiral arms.
Why are older stars located at the center of a spiral galaxy while younger stars make up arms of a spiral galaxy?
Older stars are generally towards the centre of a galaxy as they will be the first to accumulate around the galactic centre. Because they are older, there is less "free" hydrogen, so new star formation will occur wherever, there is enough matter to form a new star. This generally is around the outer edges of a galaxy.
What type of galaxy is your system in?
Our solar system is located inside the Milky Way galaxy about midway between the galaxy's edge and its center.our solar system is in one of the spiral arms of our galaxy. This is where most healthy young stars are, as opposed to the aging red giants nearer to the dense core of the Milky Way Galaxy. Nothing is particularly special about our position in space, besides the fact that it is an area of new star formation.if you want a picture then see the related link.
Why are the oldest stars called the red stars?
The Milky Way similar to the graph of the sombrero galaxy NGC4594 - a disc shape of spiral galaxy, contains about 200 billion stars. In the galactic plane above and below a halo, including billions of years ago the ancient star formation. Generally, these ancient star contains less gold, platinum and heavy elements such as uranium, but new research shows that the universe was formed at the early stage, giant exploding spray into the space of the heavy elements formed the enriched new stars.
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 galaxy has the youngest stars?
Most new, young, stars can be found in the arms of spiral galaxies

Which type of galaxy is probably a young galaxy?
The "real" answer is a protogalaxy or primeaval galaxy as these are the first stages in the formation of a galaxy.However, it's more than likely, the question has to do with new star formation, in which case, it will be a spiral galaxy (but the galaxy is not young) Our galaxy - the Milky Way - is about 13.2 billion years old - almost as old as the Universe itself.
What are similarities between elliptical and spiral galaxies?
While spiral galaxies are bright, elliptical galaxies are dim. Spiral galaxies are hotbeds of star formation, but elliptical galaxies aren't nearly as prolific because they contain less gas and dust, which means fewer new (and brighter) stars are born
What type of galaxy has giant bright new stars around the edges and older stars in the middle?
a spiral galaxy like the milky way
How do you get the 121st star on super Mario galaxy?
you get every other star and get 100 purple coins on the new galaxy.
Why do you think new stars form in the arms of a spiral galaxy and not in the enter bulge?
well, my opinion would be because of the objects and the planets in our galaxie, the spiral galaxie.
What is the new massive star?
It is called R136a1. It is in a star cluster in a nearby galaxy.
Why don't star clusters form the characteristic swirl shape like galaxies usually do?
Galaxies don't always form swirl shapes, our large spiral galaxy is just one type of galaxy. And the spiral arms are actually an optical illusion caused by dense hydrogen clouds that block out the radiation from stellar nurseries in the spaces between the "fingers" or tentacles of the galaxy. Those apparently black, dead areas are actually where new stars are forming.
Can a galaxy die?
yes a galaxy can dieone way a galaxy can die if another galaxy collides with a smaller galaxy even though the result is a larger galaxy the smaller galaxy died because it no longer exzitesa galaxy is a huge cluster of stars. even though in a Large Galaxy such as a spiral with enough gas to form new stars, when a star dies out, the energy collides with the gas to form new stars.But in a galaxy that is small and dim such as eliptical galaxies with dim low solar mass stars it would not have enough energy to form a new stars because the gas is far apart and not enough to form new stars. so if all of the stars die out there would be no new stars get formed all that would be left are dense cores called white dwarfs,black holes and neutron stars and some dust. there would almost be no light generated by the galaxy.but not all galaxies die out(FOUND OUT FROM AN ASTROMNER)
