What kinds of galaxies are bright cores and spiral galaxies?

a spiral galaxy is what you call a "kind" or classificationfor example the milky way galaxy is a spiral galaxy


Where did a black hole come from?

Most black holes form when massive stars exhaust their fuel and their cores collapse. There are also supermassive black holes at the centers of most galaxies. Scientists are not sure how supermassive black holes form.


What is a galaxies core name?

As our telescopes improve, we have discovered that there are supermassive black holes in the cores of many, perhaps most galaxies. Scientists have long known that the galaxies did not appear to have enough mass to stay together; since they DO stay together, there has to be mass - a LOT of mass - that we aren't seeing. Since we don't know anything other as a core for a galaxy then, the Core itself must be called "The Black Hole".


Where would you look for a super massive black hole?

Supermassive black holes tend to hang out in galactic cores. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has one at its nucleus.


Quasars are high-energy galaxies.?

More precisely, quasars are high-energy galaxy CORES, compact enough to appear starlike, yet emitting more radiation than a million "ordinary" galaxies.


How does a galaxy that contains a quasar differ from an ordinary galaxy?

Stars are large spheres composed mainly of hydrogen. Heat and pressure at the cores of as star fuses hydrogen atoms together to produce helium and release energy. Some older stars fuse heavier elements. A quasar consists of a supermassive black hole pulling in more matter than it can swallow. in-falling matter is heated to billions of degrees, hotter than any star, and excess matter is ejected in jets near the poles at nearly the speed of light. A quasar produces much more energy than any star.


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)


What do galaxies revolve around?

There is no known center of the Universe. It is believed that on a large scale, all parts of the Universe looks the same; wherever you are, it LOOKS as if you are at the center (distant galaxies will be receding from you). This is called the cosmological principle.


Quasars are the most luminous objects in the known Universe?

Yes Quasar is a ending galaxy which burts with everthing inside it thus the luminousity is the highest.But even when it hasn't bursted it is brighter and more powerful than other galaxy more than a Hypernova too.


Do plums have cores?

Yes, plums have cores. :)


Do black holes come from the death of quasars?

That's the current best guess; the formation of extremely powerful black holes in the centers of many galaxies. It's possible that when the central black hole in the Milky Way was forming, our own galaxy might have shined like a quasar. This may be why we never see any aliens in space; any civilization that existed then might have been exterminated by the radiation released when the central black hole formed. Earth's biosphere formed after that, and we might be one of the first spacefaring species since.
