What is a Galaxy bugle?
A bulge is a tight group of stars found at the center of most spiral galaxies. The bright spot an the center of the galaxy in the picture above is the bulge. If this galaxy were seen from the side the collection of stars would create a bulge (spheroid) expanding out from the otherwise rather flat galaxy.
Why do new stars form in the arms of a spiral galaxy and not in the central bulge?
Stars form in all parts of our galaxy - not just the "arms". Stars do indeed form in the central bulge. The vast majority of hot, young, blue stars are formed in the arms, but stars also form in the central bulge as well.
Name four different objects you can find in our galaxy?
A galaxy contains stars, gas and dust. In a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, the stars, gas, and dust are organized into a "bulge," a "disk" containing "spiral arms," and a "halo." Elliptical galaxies have a bulge-like central region and a halo, but do not have a disk.
What are physical charachteristcs of a spiral galaxy?
A spiral galaxy, as its name implies, has one or more spiral arms that stretch out from the center. The center often contains a bulge of stars and sometimes can even contain an active black hole.
Where in a spiral galaxy is a new star found?
center bulge. i found that answer in my science galaxy book. that is what it said.
Compare the colors of spiral galaxy with the colors of elliptical galaxy?
Spiral galaxy- young stars bluish Elliptical-old stars are red
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.
What are the arms of a spiral galaxy?
They are objects that are confined to the arms of a galaxy, i.e. objects that only exist within the spiral arms, and are not found (except very rarely) outside of spiral arms. Examples of tracers are structures to do with star formation, like for example open star clusters, giant molecular clouds or supernova remnants.
How are barred spiral galaxy different from spiral galaxy?
An ordinary spiral galaxy has spiral arms coming out of the core. In a barred galaxy, the central area consists of a bar of stars and the spiral arms are attached to the ends of the bar.
What is a huge group of stars that form a spreading spiral?
A Spiral Galaxy
What are facts about spiral galaxies?
milky way is a spiral galaxy spiral galaxies have younger stars in the arm and older stars in the middle
How bright is a spiral galaxy?
the spiral galaxy is very bright because of its stars, that's why our galaxy is called the milky way because it looks milky and our galaxy(the milky way) is located in one of the arms of a spiral galaxy!
