Oh honey, those centers are shining brighter than a disco ball at Studio 54 because of supermassive black holes chowing down on anything and everything in their path. These greedy giants gobble up gas and dust, heating it up - reaching temperatures hotter than your latest ex's attitude. So, buckle up and enjoy the spectacle or get out of the way!
What else can I help you with?
What are galaxies that have very bright centers and very little dust or gas called?
Galaxies with very bright centers and very little dust or gas are called elliptical galaxies. These galaxies are primarily made up of old stars and have a smooth, ellipsoidal shape with little ongoing star formation.
What is very bright object that generates far more energy then a star?
A very bright object that generates far more energy than a typical star is a quasar. Quasars are supermassive black holes at the centers of distant galaxies, surrounded by accreting material that emits enormous amounts of energy, often outshining entire galaxies. This energy is produced as matter falls into the black hole, heating up and emitting radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. Their extreme luminosity makes them some of the brightest objects in the universe.
Do galaxies all have the same shape?
Galaxies may have any of four general shapes. Elliptical galaxies show little or no structure and vary in general shape from moderately flat and round or oval to spherical. Spiral galaxies have a small, bright central region, or nucleus, and arms that come out of the nucleus and wind around, trailing off like a giant pinwheel. In barred spiral galaxies, the arms extend sideways in a short straight line before turning off into the spiral shape. Both kinds of spiral systems are flat. Irregular galaxies are usually rather small and do not have a symmetrical shape.
What are the most intense source of the light in the universe?
Some of the most intense sources of light in the universe are quasars, which are extremely bright and energetic regions around supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, and gamma-ray bursts, which are short bursts of high-energy gamma rays released during cataclysmic events like supernovae or neutron star mergers.
What is an extremely remote celestial object that emits an exceptionally large amount of energy?
An extremely remote celestial object that emits an exceptionally large amount of energy is a quasar. Quasars are ultra-bright active galactic nuclei powered by supermassive black holes at their centers, releasing immense amounts of energy as they accrete surrounding matter. They are among the most luminous objects in the universe and can outshine entire galaxies, making them visible across vast distances. Their light provides valuable insights into the early universe and the formation of galaxies.
What are galaxies that have very bright centers and very little dust or gas called?
Galaxies with very bright centers and very little dust or gas are called elliptical galaxies. These galaxies are primarily made up of old stars and have a smooth, ellipsoidal shape with little ongoing star formation.
Do spiral galaxies have very bright centers and little gas and dust?
No. They have a spiral shape.,
Are elliptical galaxies very bright and old?
Elliptical galaxies are generally old but not very bright
Do all galaxies have black holes in the center?
Not all galaxies have black holes in their centers, but many large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, are believed to have supermassive black holes at their centers.
What are distant galaxies with black holes in their centers called?
There have been some suggestions that the objects called quasars might be extremely active galaxies with unusually supermassive black holes at their centers at such great distance from us that it is not possible for telescopes to resolve their galactic structure, making them just look like very bright stars (quasi-stellar objects). However this has not been verified.If these suggestions are correct, these extremely active galaxies must be so distant that the light we are seeing from them must have been emitted only a short time after the big bang began, in the initial cycle of star formation, which would make them the earliest galaxies formed and likely very young galaxies. However if they are this young these extremely active galaxies might have galactic structures so different from the galaxies we are familiar with that even if our telescopes could resolve them, we might not recognize them as galaxies.
Do galaxies have black holes in the center?
Yes, many galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centers.
How are the centers of many spiral galaxies similar to many elliptical galaxies?
Both have a huge black hole at their center.
Why are spiral galaxies so bright?
The brightness of normal galaxies is mainly due to stars; quasars are believed to get most of their energy output from the black hole at their center.
What galaxies are smaller with many bright young stars and lots of gas and dust for star formation?
Spiral Galaxies
Are some background galaxies invisible due to being close to a bright foreground galaxy?
Yes. Some background galaxies are invisible due to being close to a bright foreground galaxy.
How do you get a black hole?
Virtually all the ones we know anything about probably formed as the result of the death of a very large star, or at the centers of galaxies. Most if not all galaxies have super massive black holes at their centers.
What shape of galaxy is small has older stars very little dust and a bright center?
The galaxy you are describing is most likely an elliptical galaxy. Elliptical galaxies are typically smaller than spiral galaxies, contain older stars, and have very little interstellar dust and gas, which contributes to their lack of new star formation. Their bright centers are a result of the dense concentration of stars, particularly older red stars, in the core.
